Re: Item F. Old Ranch Country Club Development Project EIR
I would like to submit these comments into public record. They concern any additional Hydrology
studies and/or drainage analysis in this Environmental Impact Report and extension of the contract.
The homes in the western section of College Park East Neighborhood in Seal Beach drain their
stormwater overflow into the Old Ranch Country Club Golf Course, by way of storm drains on
Ironwood Avenue. From its origin, the neighborhood has drained most of its stormwater to the golf
course and must continue to be able to do so. With increasing extremes in the weather, it has been a
challenge for the neighborhood to convey its stormwater to the golf course. However, the golf course
must also be able to accept that storm water without interference.
It is critically important that the Old Ranch Country Club development consider cumulative effects on
Hydrology and drainage. If there is a considerable amount of buildout and/or the pattern of drainage
is altered on the property, a very detailed study will be needed to consider all the impacts these
changes could have. Merely adding space on the course to hold the overflow resulting from that
buildout is not enough. Exploring all cumulative impacts so that changes to the drainage flow do not
hinder the ability for College Park East to drain its stormwater is necessary as well.
In addition, the approved development in Los Alamitos at 4665 Lampson plans to increase the
impermeable surfaces on that site to 90 percent, possibly resulting in added run-off (because of the
high water table in this area). This stormwater overflow will either cut across the Joint Forces Training
Base, if allowed, onto the eastern edge of the Old Ranch golf course, or travel down Lampson to the
storm drain at Basswood and Lampson. This storm drain, along with those in the Aster-Basswood
area of College Park East also currently drain into the lake that is in the plan to become a hotel in this
project. Careful consideration is needed to how storm water will be able to enter the golf course from
College Park East and not be subject to tidal effects from, and compete with, the stormwater
contained in the golf course’s swale along Lampson; also, attention to detail about how this
stormwater will be able to reach the newly expanded lake system on the golf course when blocked in
its path by the construction of a new hotel.
Thank you for inclusion and consideration of my comments.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE:June 8, 2026
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Gloria D. Harper, City Clerk
SUBJECT:Calling and Consolidation of Election – November 3, 2026
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt:
1. Ordinance 1727 calling and giving notice of holding the General Municipal
Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026; and,
2. Resolution 7778 requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of
Orange to consolidate the City’s General Municipal Election with the
Statewide General Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for
the purpose of the election of three (3) Members of the City Council
(Districts 1,3, and 5) for the full four-year term of each office; and,
3. Resolution 7779 adopting regulations for Candidates’ Statements
submitted to the voters; and,
4. Resolution 7780 providing for the conduct of a Municipal Run-off Election
in the event no candidate receives 50% plus 1 votes for each office to be
held on Tuesday, January 26, 2027.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Under the provisions of the City Charter a General Municipal Election shall be
held for the election of Municipal Officers every even-numbered year. The
General Municipal Election in 2026 is scheduled to be held on November 3,
2026. The relevant City Charter provisions are as follows:
SECTION 501. General Municipal Elections. General Municipal Elections shall
be held on the first (1st) Tuesday after the first (1st) Monday in November in
even-numbered years commencing with the year 2008.
SECTION 506. Holding Elections. The City Council shall, by ordinance, order
the holding of all elections. Such ordinance shall conform in all respects to the
2

0
general law of the State of California governing the conduct of municipal
elections, now or hereafter in force, except as in this Charter or by ordinance
otherwise provided.
SECTION 507. Law Governing Elections. Except as otherwise provided or
required by this Charter or Ordinance, the provisions of the general law relating to
the qualifications of electors, the manner of voting, the duties of election officers,
the canvassing of returns, and all particulars in respect to the management of
elections, so far as they may be applicable, shall govern all municipal elections of
the City of Seal Beach.
One provision of general law adopted by Charter Section 507 allows the General
Municipal Election to be consolidated with the Statewide General Election
conducted by the County of Orange on the same date. To consolidate, the City
Council must adopt a resolution requesting that the Orange County Board of
Supervisors approve the consolidation and designate the County to canvass the
returns of the election.
The nomination period begins Monday, July 13, 2026, and ends Friday,
August 7, 2026. The incumbent for District 1 has served two (2) consecutive
elective four-year terms and is therefore ineligible to seek an additional term.
Pursuant to Charter Section 422, a Member of the City Council shall not be
elected to more than two (2) consecutive elective four-year terms. As a result of
the incumbent being termed out, the nomination period may not be extended
beyond the normal deadline of Friday, August 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
Under California Elections Code Section 10225, if the incumbents for Districts 3
and 5, who are eligible to file for reelection, do not file nomination papers by the
close of the nomination period, the filing period shall be extended by five (5)
calendar days, through August 12, 2026, at 5:p.m., for non-incumbent candidates
only. No other nomination period would be extended.
The attached ordinance and resolutions are intended to call the General Municipal
Election, consolidate the election with the Statewide General Election, provide for
candidates’ statements, and call the Municipal Run-Off Election, if necessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney reviewed and approved as to form the ordinance and the
resolutions.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost to consolidate the City’s General Municipal Election with the
County of Orange Statewide General Election on the November 3, 2026, ballot is
approximately $24,533 and will be included in the FY 2026-27 Budget. The
estimated cost of conducting a run-off election for Districts 1, 3, and 5 is
approximately $400,000. If a run-off election becomes necessary, a budget
adjustment will be brought forward to the City Council at that time.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt:
1. Ordinance 1727 calling and giving notice of holding the General Municipal
Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026; and,
2. Resolution 7778 requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of
Orange to consolidate the City’s General Municipal Election with the
Statewide General Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for
the purpose of the election of three (3) Members of the City Council
(Districts 1,3, and 5) for the full four-year term of each office; and,
3. Resolution 7779 adopting regulations for Candidates’ Statements
submitted to the voters; and,
4. Resolution 7780 providing for the conduct of a Municipal Run-off Election
in the event no candidate receives 50% plus 1 votes for each office to be
held on Tuesday, January 26, 2027.

On April 28, 2017, Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill No. 1 (SB 1), the Road
Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, as amended on September 16, 2017,
pursuant to Assembly Bill 135. SB 1, which was created to address basic road
maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on the State highway and
local road systems, increases per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes
and vehicle registration fees, and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates
in future years. As of November 1, 2017, the State Controller has been depositing
various portions of this funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account (RMRA) created to implement the legislation. The State Controller will
apportion, by formula, a percentage of RMRA funds to eligible cities and counties
in accordance with Streets & Highways Code Section 2032. Pursuant to Streets &
Highways Code Section 2030, RMRA funds must be used for projects that include
but are not limited to:

Road maintenance and rehabilitation
Safety projects
Railroad grade separations
Complete street components, including active transportation purposes,
pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and
stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project
Traffic control devices
According to information provided by the California Transportation Commission
(CTC), the City of Seal Beach is estimated to receive approximately $709,825 of
additional gas tax funds in FY 2026-2027.
SB 1 imposes several requirements on public agencies in order to receive the
additional gas tax funds. These requirements are contained in the Streets &
Highways Code, including Streets & Highways Code Section 2034, which
provides:
(1) Prior to receiving an apportionment of funds under the program pursuant
to paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 2032 from the Controller in a
fiscal year, an eligible city or county shall submit to the commission a list of
projects proposed to be funded with these funds. All projects proposed to
receive funding shall be adopted by resolution by the applicable city council
or county board of supervisors at a regular public meeting. The list of
projects proposed to be funded with these funds shall include a description
and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the
project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. The
project list shall not limit the flexibility of an eligible city or county to fund
projects in accordance with local needs and priorities so long as the projects
are consistent with subdivision (b) of Section 2030.
As set forth in the statute noted above, the road repair and maintenance projects
must be approved by resolution of the City Council at a regular public meeting. The
resolution must also contain a description and location of each proposed project,
a proposed completion schedule, and the estimated useful life of each
improvement.
In anticipation of the City receiving its RMRA fund allocation, the following projects
have been identified for RMRA funds:
O-ST-3 [Annual] Arterial Street Resurfacing Program (Westminster Avenue
to Pacific Coast Highway)
STO2 Annual Local Street Paving Program (Pacific Coast Highway to
Marina Drive)
The work will generally include roadway rehabilitation, resurfacing, and striping.
While the project list and locations were identified utilizing the City’s Pavement
Management Program report, it should be noted that this list will not limit the City’s
Page 3

flexibility to fund projects in accordance with local needs and priorities, as long as
the projects are consistent with the State and Highways Code Section 2030 (b).
The City was recently awarded a Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) by
the Federal Highway Administration. Pending the Southern California Association
of Governments (SCAG) and federal programming considerations, it is envisioned
the STBG funds would be allocated towards the O-ST-3 Annual Arterial Streets
Resurfacing Program (Westminster Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway) design
phase in Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The construction phase would take place in the
subsequent fiscal year. This project is expected to extend the pavement useful life
by approximately fifteen (15) years.
It is anticipated that STO2 will be advertised for construction bids Fall 2026, with
an anticipated completion of Spring 2027. This project is expected to extend the
pavement useful life approximately ten (10) to fifteen (15) years.
The purpose of approving the attached resolution is to satisfy the requirements of
SB 1 relative to holding local governments accountable for the efficient investment
of public funds to maintain public streets and roads, in accordance with Streets &
Highways Code Section 2034.
The criteria developed by the CTC requires a list of projects funded with RMRA
dollars be submitted no later than July 1, 2026. The proposed resolution is
expected to be acceptable as confirmation that the project list is included in the
City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget pursuant to a decision made by
the City Council at a regular public meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The proposed action is not a “project” as defined in the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21065 and Section 15378 (b)
(4) and (5) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed action is an organizational
or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in
the environment, and the creation of government funding mechanisms or other
government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific
project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the
environment. As such, the proposed action is not subject to environmental review.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact for this item.

estimated useful life of the improvement; and,
WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $709,825 in RMRA funding in Fiscal
Year 2026-2027 from SB 1; and,
WHEREAS, this is the tenth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and

roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in
complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and

Roof Replacement, CIP BG2506
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7782:
1. Accepting the completion of the Marina Community Center Roof
Replacement, CIP BG2506, by Garland/DBS, Inc. in the amount of
$338,255; and,
2. Directing the City Clerk to file a “Notice of Completion” with the Orange
County Clerk-Recorder within fifteen (15) days from the date of acceptance
and to release retention thirty-five (35) days after recordation of the Notice
of Completion contingent upon no claims being filed on the Project.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Following rainstorms during the week of January 4, 2026, a portion of the Marina
Community Center secondary room used by the Seal Beach Playgroup
experienced a failure, resulting in water intrusion and damage.
On February 9, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 7734 awarding a Public
Works Agreement to Garland/DBS, Inc. (Garland) for the Project in the amount of
$307,489 and allocating up to $30,800 for additional work requests.
The Project included change orders for abatement, additional removal of
unforeseen rotted wood and additional nailer, facia, and drain replacements. The
additional work was completed utilizing the approved contingency budget for this
Project.
The proposed roofing system includes a 25-year warranty from Garland covering
leaks resulting from manufacturing defects or defective workmanship performed
by the contractor. Under the warranty terms, Garland will pay all authorized repair
costs necessary to correct leaks caused by defective materials or workmanship

occurring within 25 years from the project completion date. If repairs require
removal and replacement of the original roof system in recover applications, the
City will be responsible for the associated removal and replacement costs of the
original roof system.
The Project was inspected, meets all standards and requirements within the
Project specifications, and has been completed to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer. It is requested that the City Council formally accept the Project, direct
staff to file a Notice of Completion with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office
and release the retention thirty-five (35) days after recordation of the Notice of
Completion contingent upon no claims being filed on the Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This Project complies with all requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and is categorically exempt under Section 15301 Class 1 Subsection
(c) of the CEQA Guidelines.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The approved construction contract budget ($307,489) plus established
construction contingency ($30,800) totals $338,289. The actual amount used was
$338,255. The table below presents a breakdown of the total construction Project
cost:
Description Amount
Construction Bid Items $ 307,489.00
Contract Change Orders $ 30,766.00
Project Cost $ 338,255.00
Originally, BG2506 was funded through transfers from BG2503 – Building
Improvement Program and PR2501 – Tennis Court and Pickleball Center project
savings. Unspent funds ($64) will be returned to BG2503, as PR2501 is nearing
completion and does not require the remaining funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7782:
1. Accepting the completion of the Marina Community Center Roof

FROM:Shaun Temple, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Approving Amendment 3 to the Professional Services
Agreement with Psomas for the Development of an
Environmental Impact Report
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council approve Resolution 7783:
1. Approving Amendment 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Psomas for the development of an Environmental Impact Report pursuant
to the exemption from competitive bidding requirements set forth in Seal
Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 3.20.025 for a 12-month extension
to expire on June 30, 2027, and an increase in $22,363 for a revised total
not-to-exceed amount of $278,836 pursuant to the Proposal submitted by
Psomas dated May 14, 2026; and,
2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment 3 with Psomas on
behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Old Ranch Country Club (ORCC) Specific Plan Proposal aims to develop new
and expand facilities on the 154-acre site, including overnight accommodations,
multi-family and senior housing, a parking structure, and additional amenities. Due
to the project’s complexity and project tasks, additional time and budget are
necessary for the completion of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Amendment 3 extends the term of the contract by 12-months, to June 30, 2027.
Amendment 3 will also add an additional $22,363, resulting in a total not-to-exceed
amount of $278,836, to ensure comprehensive coverage of the project's needs. All
of the project costs associated with the ORCC Specific Plan proposal are paid for
by the project applicant.
Amendment 3 proposes to review and update the Administrative Draft EIR sections
to reflect current project conditions, regulations, technical assumptions, and City
comments; prepare new and revised analyses for Hydrology and Water Quality,
Page 2

3
0
2
Transportation, and Utilities and Service Systems; provide an additional round of
City review of the EIR prior to public circulation; and conduct ongoing project
management and coordination with Community Development, Public Works, and
the applicant’s consultants.
Approval of Amendment 3 does not constitute an approval of the proposed project.
Rather, this EIR is necessary to gather relevant information in order for the
Planning Commission and City Council to consider the proposed project. While the
City is the contracting entity for this work, all costs will be paid by the project
applicant through a reimbursement agreement between the developer and the
City.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under
Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with
certainty that approval of this Amendment 3 to the Professional Services
Agreement with Psomas will not have a significant effect on the environment.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution and agreement as to
form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact on extending the term and budget of the Professional
Services Agreement. All project costs associated with the Old Ranch Country Club
Specific Plan proposal are paid for by the project applicant.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve Resolution 7783:
1. Approving Amendment 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Psomas for the development of an Environmental Impact Report pursuant
to the exemption from competitive bidding requirements set forth in Seal
Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 3.20.025 for a 12-month extension
to expire on June 30, 2027, and an increase in $22,363 for a revised total
not-to-exceed amount of $278,836 pursuant to the Proposal submitted by
Psomas dated May 14, 2026; and,

0 Overview of Task
As with many jurisdictions, the City of Seal Beach is faced with
the need to balance the development of a variety of housing
types for all income levels with the concern of the community
regarding the pace and density of new development. Maintaining
and enhancing the existing quality and providing an adequate
housing supply for existing and future residents is critical for
the continued economic vitality of the City.
Similar to a number of neighboring cities, Seal Beach is virtually
built out. Recognizing the need for additional housing in light
of the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
It has been my requirement of 1,243 units, the recently adopted Housing Element identifies 11
sites that need to be rezoned to accommodate a total of 1,543 units. The existing
pleasure working commercial uses with a zoning designation of Commercial are proposed to be

Environmental. Analysis Approach
Psomas proposes to prepare a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR)
inaccordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public
Resources Code 21000-21177) and the.State CEQA Guidelines (California Code
of Regulation, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15000-15387). A PEIR
would be the appropriate CEQA document due to the potential for significant
environmental impacts.
Additionally, a program -level as opposed to a project -level EIR is appropriate.for
the Old Ranch Country Club Specific Plan Project, as it will accommodate tiering
future projects to streamline the entitlement process. The PEIR will "focus
out" the topical issues and environmental checklist questions that may not be
applicable and, thus, not require detailed evaluation in the PEIR. However, if
detailed, sufficient project -level information is available for all components of
the Project at this time, a project -level EIR can be considered as the appropriate
CEQA document. The approach will be further discussed in detail at the kick-off
meeting. For purposes of this proposed, the CEQA document is referenced as a
Program, Environmental Impact Report (PEIR).
A detailed discussion of the scope of work is included under Work Plan on page
20 of the proposal.
Psomas believes in
a holistic approach
toward project
management and
client satisfaction, in
addition to meeting
the requirements
of the technical
scope of services.
General Approach
Regardless of the type and size of a project, Psomas believes
in a holistic approach toward project management and client
satisfaction, in addition to meeting the requirements of the
technical scope of services. One of the components of this
approach is developing and maintaining a collaborative client
relationship. Psomas is committed to fostering trust -based
client relationships that will last well beyond any single project.
Building upon the notion of this relationship is establishing
aline of communication thatfacilitates data sharing, project
information updates, and schedule and cost maintenance. We
will rely on the expertise and knowledge of City staff as much as they will rely
on our capabilities in managing the environmental documentation process. In
light of this approach, Psomas envisions a synergistic working relationship with
the City that would enable the process to progress efficiently, while facilitating
exchange of ideas; knowledge gathering; transfer of information; and
partnering on the common objective of completing successful environmental
documents, on time, and within budget.
Additionally, and more specifically, we embrace the following steps in our
process:
Establish a communication protocol with City staff and technical leads,
and other key team members, to ensure project -critical information is
efficiently and accurately conveyed across the team
Ensure roles/responsibilities are clear for efficient management of
assignments andquality control of services and deliverables
P. Utilize experienced staff with extensive relevant experience who will do
the job right the first time
Agree on initial project schedule and budget with City staff and a protocol
for updating status on both during all project phases
Determine key project description details with the City and Applicant
early to facilitate accurate and consistent peer reviews and analyses
Verify that technical approach/scope of services as conveyed in the
proposal still meets City expectations following completion,of project
description
Collaborate up front with the City on standard templates for project
deliverables
Implementation Plan
Important to the successful delivery of a project is implementing our scope of
work, schedule, and cost controls in compliance with the requirements and to
the satisfaction of the City. Completing projects successfully will strengthen
the City's trust in Psomas. Therefore, the longevity of our relationship will
depend on successful implementation of the scope of work on schedule and
within budget. In order to avoid potential issues, the Project Manager will be
responsible for closely monitoring the status of these three key components.
Implementation Strategies
Best Practices
The environmental documentation needs of every project are unique and
depend on the type and size of the project, existing conditions, potential
impacts, and public controversy, among other factors. However, regardless of
the type and size of projects, best practices espoused by our project team will
facilitate the environmental process on future projects.
Technical Solutions: one of the strengths of the Psomas Team is
taking the time in the beginning of the project to develop a thorough
project description that correctly reflects details of project construction
and operation. Upon completion and approval by the City, the project
description will be shared with the Psomas technical leads. Based on our
experience, a solid and stable project description can serve to avoid later
revisions to the environmental document analyses and related technical
studies.
Project Controls
Scope of Work. The scope of work for most projects influences the budget and
schedule. Upon project kick-off, the scope of work will be further discussed with
the City and project team and better defined. As the scope of work will direct
the action items for all tasks proposed, it is imperative that it be kept updated

Work Plan
Psomas proposes to prepare a Program Environmental
Impact Report (PEIR) in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources
Code 21000-21177) and the State CEQA Guidelines
California Code of Regulation, Title 14, Division 5,
Chapter 3, Section 15000-15387). A PEIR would be the
appropriate CEQA document due to the potential for
significant environmental impacts. Additionally,
a program -level as opposed to a project -level EIR is appropriate a Specific
Plan Project, as it will accommodate tiering future projects to streamline
the entitlement process. The PEIR will "focus out" the topical issues and
environmental checklist questions that may not be applicable and, thus, not
require detailed evaluation in the PEIR. However, as indicated previously,
if sufficient level of detail is available for the project and its components, a
project -level EIR would be appropriate. This issue will be further discussed at
the kick-off meeting.
TASK 1- PROJECT INITIATION
Subtask 1.1 Kick -Off Meeting
Psomas will attend a kick-off meeting with the City, the Applicant, and the
Project team, as appropriate. This meeting will provide an opportunity to
discuss the approach to preparing the environmental document; further define
the scope of work; identify and discuss the key community issues and concerns,
as applicable; and identify information needs. The Project schedule will be
discussed, and key milestones defined. It is assumed that available Project
information, as applicable, would be provided at this meeting.
Subtask 7.7 Deliverables
Attendance at the kick-off meeting
Subtask 1.2 Data Collection and Site Visit
Psomas will prepare a Data Needs Request to obtain data related to Project
construction and operational activities' that are needed for the technical
analyses (e.g., Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas [GHG] Emissions, Energy, and
Noise) contained in the PEIR topical sections. Psomas will review existing City
documents, including but not limited to the City of Seal Beach General Plan
2003); Seal Beach Municipal Code and Zoning (Title 11); and other pertinent City
documents.
Additionally, Psomas will conduct a site visit to assist in the description of
the environmental setting and to photographically document the site and
surrounding area.
Subtask 7.2 Deliverables
Electronic Copy (email) of Data Needs Request
Subtask 1.3 Project Description
Psomas will prepare a Project description, appropriate for a PEIR and a Project
of this nature. The Project description will include, but not be limited to,
Project objectives; site plan and other plans (e.g., circulation plan, grading plan,
open space plan, landscape plan, utilities plan), as available; infrastructure
and wet and dry utilities; and any other features unique to the Project that
are integral to the analysis of the environmental impacts. Upon completion,
Psomas will provide the Project description to the City and Applicant for
review.. Psomas will revise the Project description to address the comments
received and, upon approval by the City, provide it to the technical team for
preparation of the studies/analyses.
Subtask 1.3 Deliverables
Electronic Copies (email) of Draft and Final Project Description
TASK 2 - PEER REVIEW OF APPLICANT -PREPARED
STUDIES/REPORTS
We understand that the Applicant's consultants have prepared studies/reports,
including Biological Resources, Arborist (Assessment of Eucalyptus Windrow),
Geotechnical, and Traffic. Upon Project kick-off and receipt of the said studies/
reports, Psomas' Project Manager and technical experts will conduct peer
reviews of the studies/reports for adequacy and compliance with CEQA. Upon
review of the studies/reports, a memorandum will be prepared and submitted
to City staff summarizing the comments and recommendations of the Project
Manager and technical experts on each study/report. The findings of the final
studies/reports—if comments and recommendations result in revising the
studies/report—will be incorporated into the topical sections of the PEIR.
If additional studies/reports are prepared by the Applicant at a later date and
provided to Psomas for peer review and incorporation into the PEIR, a budget
augment will be required for the additional peer review.
Subtask 2 Deliverables
Electronic Copies (PDF and MS Word) of Peer Review Memorandum
TASK 3 - INITIAL STUDY/NOTICE OF PREPARATION
AND SCOPING MEETING
Subtask 3.1 Initial Study/Notice of Preparation
Psomas will prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study/Notice of
Preparation (IS/NOP) for review by the City and Applicant. If it can be
adequately documented that there would be no Project impact on a topic, that
topic will be "focused out" of the PEIR. For other topical issues, there may be
specific checklist questions that would have no impact and could be focused
out. Psomas will also prepare the NOP, which will provide an overview of the
Project; Project objectives; alternatives to be evaluated; and expected required
permits. The NOP will also serve as a Scoping Meeting notice.
Upon completion, the Draft IS/NOP will be submitted to the
City and Applicant. Psomas will revise the IS/NOP to address
the comments received and prepare a Public Review Draft IS/
NOP for approval prior to the 30 -day public review. Psomas will
revise and distribute the IS/NOP based on the City's distribution
list. Psomas will also prepare a Notice of Completion (NOC) and
Notice of Availability (NOA) of the NOP. The IS/NOP and the
NOC will be filed with the County Clerk and posted on the State
Clearinghouse (SCH) website.
It should be noted, as preparation of a EIR has been determined,
the City may decide not to prepare an IS and only circulate
the NOP for 30 days. This would reduce the schedule and cost
accordingly.
Subtask 3.1 Deliverables

review of the IS/NOP. It is assumed the City will organize the Scoping Meeting
at a venue of their choice. If requested by the City, Psomas will describe the
environmental process in preparing the PEIR. This scope of work assumes
that Psomas will prepare Scoping Meeting materials (i.e.; handouts, sign -in
sheets, comment cards/sheets). If requested, Psomas can prepare a PowerPoint
presentation for the Scoping Meeting. Subsequently, Psomas will document the
meeting and prepare a summary of the meeting for inclusion in the PEIR.

TASK 4 - DRAFT PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT
Subtask 4.1 Administrative Draft Program Environmental
Impact Report
Psomas will prepare an Administrative Draft PEIR in accordance with CEQA, the
State CEQA Guidelines, and pertinent case law. The analysis will be based upon
the IS/NOP comments received; community and agency input at the Scoping
Meeting; technical evaluation of the proposed Project; and pertinent data.
Psomas' approach to preparing PEIR sections is provided below.
Executive Summary: Psomas will summarize the Project location,
Project description, areas of controversy and issues to be resolved,
summary of impacts, mitigation measures, and alternatives.
Introduction: The Introduction will include Project background and
history; the purpose of the PEIR; the environmental issues assessed in
the PEIR; the environmental review process; and organization of the
PEIR. This section will also summarize the scoping process and include
a general overview of the existing environmental setting of the site and
the surrounding area.
Project Description: Psomas will,prepare an in-depth and detailed
Project description based on Project information in coordination with
the City and Applicant. This section will include Project location, Project
objectives, intended uses of the PEIR, discretionary actions, Project
components and characteristics.
Environmental Analysis: Each topical PEIR section will contain a
discussion of existing conditions; the regulatory framework; applicable
Project design features (if proposed) and regulatory requirements;
significant environmental effects; and mitigation measures, if required.
Aesthetics. The analysis in the PEIR will qualitatively assess the
potential visual changes that could occur in the future in comparison
with the existing views of the site. The site has been developed into
a golf course, a clubhouse, and associated uses and is surrounded
by existing single-family residential, commercial, and retail land
uses beyond the abutting roadways in addition to the Los Alamitos.
The existing visual character of the sites and surrounding areas
and visibility of the sites will be described and documented through
ground level photographs. Photographs of the site will be taken from
different vantage points and incorporated into the discussion and
analysis. The potential impacts emanating from the changed light and
glare associated with the proposed Project will also be analyzed in the
PEIR, especially in relation to the surrounding land uses that may be
sensitive to light. If impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be
proposed to reduce the impacts.
Agricultural and Forest Resources. The site has been developed and
is surrounded by existing residential, commercial, and retail land
uses. The Project site is not being used, nor anticipated to be used,
or zoned for agricultural purposes; it is not subject to a Williamson
Act contract; and it does not contain Prime Farmland or Farmland
of Statewide Importance. Additionally, no forest land occurs on the
Project site or in the surrounding area.
Air Quality. Psomas will develop air quality analysis based on a review
of the Project plans, traffic study, and related Project data. Psomas will
prepare a Data Needs Request for the Project team to provide general
data relative to construction phasing, building energy use, stationary
sources, and Project features related to air quality for the level of
information available for the Specific Plan. Based on the information
provided, Psomas will draft reasonable worst-case scenarios for
anticipated construction activities (i.e., type of construction,
construction start and completion dates) and long-term operations to
be used as the basis of the air quality modeling.
Psomas will conduct the air quality analysis consistent with the
SCAQMD's recommended methods for CEQA analyses and will evaluate
the Project's contribution to regional emissions to the air basin, as well
as localized concentrations to uses proximate to the Project site. For
the regional emissions analysis, Psomas will calculate the Project's
construction and operational criteria pollutant regional (mass)
emissions using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod).
Model results will be compared with the SCAQMD's CEQA regional
emissions thresholds to determine the Project's potential impacts to
the air basin's regional emissions.
For the analysis of potential impacts to the local area proximate to the
Project site, the SCAQMD requires that project -related construction
emissions be evaluated against the localized significance thresholds
LSTs). LSTs are used to determine whether sensitive uses near the
Project site are exposed to air pollution that exceeds the ambient air
quality standards (AAQS). For the operations phase of the Project, it is
expected that a qualitative analysis will demonstrate that the Project
would not generate traffic congestion at a major intersection at a
magnitude that would cause a local carbon monoxide (CO) "hotspot".
Thus, no dispersion modeling is included in this scope of work for
CO analysis. Project area exposure to construction phase toxic air
contaminants (TACs) and odors will also be addressed qualitatively.
Additionally, the analysis will include an evaluation of Project
conformity with the Air Quality Management Plan for the South Coast
Air Basin.
The Project site is located proximate to the Joint Forces Training Base
Los Alamitos (jFTB). Aircraft and ancillary facilities operating from
this facility may result in criteria and toxic air pollutant exposure to
the Project site. The Interstate 405 freeway is also located directly to
the south of the Project site. Vehicle exhaust from the freeway would
also contribute to air pollutant exposure at the Project site. Depending
on the intensity and duration of project related construction activities
and the proximity of these activities to existing residential uses, a
Health Risk Assessment (HRA) may be necessary to address these
environmental impacts. As an optional task, Psomas can conduct a
HRA for the exposure of the Project site to both freeway and aircraft
emissions, as well as the health risk associated with the Project's
construction activities. The cost for the HRA is dependent on a broad
array of factors and will be provided, if requested by the City.
CEQA generally requires an analysis of potential project related
impacts to the environment and not the effects of the environment
on the Project site. It is noted that, upon Project initiation, we propose
to have a discussion with the City regarding the most appropriate air
quality approach. It is important to minimize any potential public
comments in regard to technical adequacy of the analysis. The findings
of the analysis will be provided as a section within the PEIR, and the
model results will be included as an appendix.
Biological Resources. The proposed project site is within a highly
developed area of the City of Seal Beach. The 154 -acre site is developed
with a golf course and associated uses. Based on review of the aerial
photograph, there are rows of Eucalyptus Windrow throughout the
golf course. A Biological Resources and Arborist Study have been
prepared by the Applicant's consultants, which will be provided to
Psomas for a peer review and use in the PEIR. It is assumed that
a literature review has been conducted as part of the Biological
Resources Study to determine which species have been identified
as special status by State, federal, and local resources agencies and
organizations and have a potential to occur within the vicinity.
It is also assumed that the Biological Resources Study analyzes
the potential impacts to nesting birds and raptors during Project
construction and include mitigation measures to avoid significant
impacts pertaining to nesting birds and raptors. Upon, review of
the said studies, the findings will be summarized in the Biological
Resources section of the PEIR document, and the studies will be
included as appendices in the PEIR. The scope of work does not include
focused surveys or a jurisdictional delineation.
Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources. Psomas will
submit a request to the California Historical Resources Information
System (CHRIS) at the South -Central Coastal Information Center
SCCIC) to conduct a records search for the Project site, including a half
mile search radius surrounding the Project site. The SCCIC currently
estimates two (2) to three (3) months from the date of request to receive
the results of the records search. Additionally, Psomas will request the
Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) conduct a search of the
Sacred Lands File (SLF) database for the Project site.
Psomas will provide tribal consultation support as needed to the Lead
Agency to fulfill the agency -to -agency consultation requirements for
both Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill is (SB 18).
AB 52 requires a Lead Agency/City to provide formal notification to
tribal representatives that are traditionally and culturally affiliated
to the geographic area where a project is located. This task assumes
preparation of up to eight (8) letters on the City's letterhead; one (1)
round of review by the City; and up to four (4) hours of telephone
consultation in concert with the City, as needed, to consult with the
Tribes. The tribal representatives have 30 days to request consultation
upon receiving the AB 52 notification letter. Psomas can provide
further support related to tribal consultation, such as additional
meetings, minutes, or additional site visits, subject to a scope and
budget augment.
In addition to AB 52, the Project must comply with SB 18 requirements
for a Specific Plan. Psomas will provide support to the City to fulfill
the agency -to -agency consultation requirements under SB 18.
This includes assisting with the California Native American Tribal
consultation; preparing 12 notification letters sent from Psomas on
behalf of the City; one (1) round of review by the City; preparing a
contact log documenting outreach to the Tribes, and up to three (3)
hours of telephone consultation in concert with the City, as needed,
to consult with the Tribes. The Tribal representatives have 90 days
to request consultation upon receipt of the SB is notification letter.
Psomas can provide further support related to SB 18 consultation, such
as additional meetings, minutes, or additional site visits, subject to a
budget augment.
The results of the records searches and tribal consultations will be
compiled and described in the Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural
Resources sections of the PEIR. If potential significant' impacts to
resources are identified, Psomas will recommend mitigation measures
to address those impacts. It should be noted that this scope of work
does not include a cultural resources pedestrian field survey. If
requested by the City, a field survey will be conducted subject to a
budget augment.
Energy. Psomas will develop an energy analysis for the Project, which
will include a discussion of regulatory setting, energy demands,
Project energy efficiency measures, impact assessment, and any
necessary mitigation measures. The regulatory setting will include a
discussion of the local, State and federal policies and regulations that
apply to the Project. The discussion of Project related energy demands
include quantification of anticipated energy consumption from the
operations phases. Construction phase energy demand is due to diesel
and gasoline consumption during the development of the Project.
The operations phase of the Project would consume energy. related to
lighting and heating needs as well as vehicle trips. Potential impacts
will be assessed relative to Project consistency with those policies and
measures related to energy efficiency and conservation within the
City of Seal Beach's General Plan and the State of California Energy
Efficiency Standards. Mitigation measures, if needed, will be discussed
relative to any measures needed to reduce significant energy impacts.
Geology and Soils. We understand a Geotechnical Study has been
prepared by the Applicant's consultant, which will be provided
to Psomas for use in the PEIR. Psomas will review the study and
incorporate the summary of the findings in the Geology and Soils
section of the EIR and include the study as an appendix in the PEIR. If
impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be proposed to reduce
the impacts.
Additionally, Psomas will request a paleontological resources records
search and literature review for the Project site from the Vertebrate
Paleontology Section of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural
History. The Natural History Museum provides a letter summarizing
information on geological formations and known paleontological
localities (if any) near the Project site, and a determination of the
paleontological sensitivity of the geologic units underlying the site.
The findings will be summarized in the Geology and Soils section of
the PEIR.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Psomas will prepare a greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions analysis. The quantitative Project analysis will use the data
and scenarios, developed for the air quality analysis and assumptions for
the Project's anticipated electricity, natural gas, and water usage. Psomas
will calculate construction and operational GHG emissions concurrently
with the air quality emissions using CalEEMod. Psomas will compare the
change in GHG emissions with criteria that have been recommended by
the SCAQMD or a threshold determined in coordination with City staff.
Psomas will also determine whether implementation of the Project would
conflict with applicable State, and regional policies, or regulations adopted
for the purpose of reducing air pollutant and GHG emissions. The proposed
Specific Plan will be evaluated for consistency against the goals and
policies established within the City of Seal Beach's General Plan. Mitigation
measures'that reduce construction and operations phase impacts will be
identified, as necessary. If regional and/or local construction or operations
phase emissions exceed the SCAQMD thresholds of significance, Psomas
will work with the City to determine feasible mitigation measures. The
findings will be provided as a section within the PEIR, and the model results
will be included as an appendix.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Psomas will contract with
Environmental Data Resources (EDR) to complete a radius search of
hazardous materials databases. Psomas will summarize the findings of
the report in the hazards and hazardous materials section of the PEIR
and qualitatively address other potential impacts pertaining to hazards,
including impacts related to chemical transport, storage, and handling;
airport hazards, as applicable; emergency response and emergency
evacuation plans; and wildland fires. The analysis will also include a
detailed discussion of proximity to the Joint Forces Training Base -Los
Alamitos and potential impacts pertaining to safety concerns. If impacts
are identified, mitigation measures will be proposed to reduce the impacts.
The report will be included as an appendix in the PEIR. For demolition of
existing structures, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) may
be required and prepared by the Applicant's consultant and prepared to
Psomas for use in the PEIR.
A Hydrology Study and Water Quality. It is assumed that hydrology in
addition to a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) will be provided by
the Applicant's civil engineers. The information/reports will be reviewed,
and the findings will be summarized in the Hydrology and Water Quality
section of the PEIR. Additionally, the issues pertaining to recontouring of
the golf course to accommodate a change in the flood plain easement of
the site and recon -figuration of the drainage basin that serves residential
community of College Park East will be discussed and analyzed. If impacts
are identified, mitigation measures will be proposed to reduce the impacts.
Land Use and Planning. Psomas will describe the existing condition of
the site and the surrounding land uses based on a site visit (Task 1.2) and
review of the relevant available documents and information and analyze
the Project's compatibility with the surrounding uses. Consistency with
planning documents relevant to the proposed Project, including the Airport
Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) (August 17, 2017), will be discussed. Psomas
will also evaluate the proposed Project's consistency with relevant local
and regional planning policies, including, but not limited to, the City
of Seal Beach General Plan policies; Southern California Association of
Governments' (SCAG's) regional planning policies; and other relevant
policy documents. If impacts are identified, mitigation measures will
be proposed to reduce the impacts.
Mineral Resources. The Project site is development and is within an
urbanized portion of the City of Seal Beach. There are no areas within
the site containing known mineral resources appropriate for mineral
extraction. Psomas will address the lack of mineral resources on the
site.
Noise. Psomas will analyze temporary noise and vibration
impacts from construction activities and will also review the
Project plans, design, and traffic impact analysis to evaluate
operational noise impacts to sensitive receptors. To characterize
the existing noise environment, four (4) long-term (24-hour)
noise measurements will be taken within the project area to
document existing noise level exposure at the Project site from
the primary noise sources in the area (I-405 freeway, Seal Beach
Boulevard, and JFTB). Noise contours will also be taken from the
Installation Compatible Use Zone (ICUZ) and AELUP.
Project related impacts will be assessed for the construction and
operations phases of the Project. Construction noise and vibration
will be assessed based on values provided by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Federal Transit Administration
FTA). Operations phase noise sources would include noise generated
by Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units, parking lot
activities, recreational uses, and vehicular trips accessing the Project
site and local roadways. The analysis will compare noise impacts
with the standards in the City's General Plan and Noise Ordinances.
Increases in traffic noise on local roadways will also be quantified
using the Federal Highway Administration's RD -77-108 traffic noise
model.
The assessment of potential, impacts to proposed noise sensitive
Project uses will consider consistency with the State of California's
Title 25 interior residential noise limits, the City's exterior noise/land
use compatibility guidelines, AELUP and Airport Land Use Commission
ALUC) guidance, and CEQA court decisions that affect aircraft noise
exposure (Berkeley Keep Jets Over the Bay Committee v. Board of Port
Commissioners of the City of Oakland).
Mitigation measures that reduce construction and operations phase
impacts from the Project will be identified, as necessary. Project site
noise exposure and any needed mitigation will be consistent with the
City's Noise Element of the General Plan and the AELUP. If regional
and/or local construction emissions exceed the noise thresholds of
significance, Psomas will work with the City to determine feasible
mitigation measures. The results will be provided as a section in the
PEIR and will include summaries of noise terminology, applicable
noise regulations, ambient noise environment, and increases in
existing noise levels. The supporting calculations will be included as an
appendix.
Population and Housing. The Population and Housing section of the
PEIR will evaluate and analyze the direct and indirect effects of the
proposed Project pertaining to population, housing, and employment.
The analysis will also take into account the population, housing,
and employment projections for the Project area using the latest
demographic data and address the forecasted growth and Project's
consistency with regional and location growth assumptions. If impacts
are identified, mitigation measures will be proposed to reduce the
impacts.
Public Services and Recreation. Implementation of the proposed
Project would generate increased demand for public services, such
as fire and police protection services, and parks. Since the Project
includes senior and assisted living residents, an increased demand
for schools is not anticipated. The potential effects associated with
implementation of the proposed Project are related to the provision
of adequate service levels and the need to upgrade and/or provide
additional facilities to serve the proposed Project. Psomas will
coordinate with the service providers to identify existing public
service facilities and capacities and determine whether the proposed
Project can be adequately serviced without any increase in personnel
or expansion of existing resources, including facilities. If impacts are
identified, mitigation measures will be proposed to reduce the impacts.
Transportation. We understand a Traffic Study has been
prepared by the Applicant's consultant, which will be provided
to Psomas for use in the PEIR. Psomas will review the study and
incorporate the summary of the findings in the Transportation
section of the PEIR and include the study as an appendix in the
PEIR. If impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be
proposed to reduce the impacts.
Utilities and Service Systems. Implementation of the proposed
Project would generate increased demand for wet and dry utility
services (e.g., water, wastewater treatment, solid waste disposal,
electricity, gas, telephone, and cable). The potential effects
associated with implementation of the proposed Project are related to
the availability of adequate supply to meet the increased demand of
the proposed Project. Psomas will coordinate with applicable utility
providers to obtain the necessary information regarding existing
capacity, supply, and future demand from the proposed Project. It is
assumed that information regarding water and sewer will be provided
by the Applicant's civil engineers and will be used in the analysis of
potential impacts. It is assumed that preparation of a Water Supply
Assessment (WSA) would not be required.
Wildfire. Psomas will discuss the Project's location relative to the Fire
Hazard Severity Zone Map (California Department of Forestry and Fire
Prevention-CalFire) and assess the Project's potential impacts related
to proximity to a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ).
Cumulative Impacts: In addition to the analysis of potential
short- and long-term Project -specific impacts, Psomas will
conduct a cumulative impact analysis based on the provisions
of Section 15130(b)(1) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Psomas will
coordinate with City staff to obtain a list of related projects. The
evaluation method will vary depending on the technical issue to
be addressed. For each technical section, the cumulative study
area will be defined and used for the assessment of the Project's
contribution to cumulative impacts.
Alternatives: Psomas will provide an assessment of
alternatives to the proposed Project. These alternatives will be based on
the requirements of CEQA and discussions with City staff. This scope
of work assumes that up to three (3) development alternatives and a No
Project Alternative will be evaluated.
Required CEQA Topics: Other CEQA-required sections include
long-term impacts; significant irreversible environmental changes;
significant unavoidable adverse impacts, as applicable; growth -inducing
impacts; references; agencies and persons consulted; and preparers and
contributors.
Upon completion, Psomas will submit the Administrative Draft PEIR and
technical appendices for review and comment by the City and Applicant.

Magnolia. Tank,Fartn Project Site
Psomas prepared a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) pursuant to
CEQA for the Magnolia Tank Farm Project. Psomas worked closely with the City
in preparation of the NOP, draft and final EIRs, and Responses to Comments.
In addition, Psomas conducted a Scoping Meeting and a Planning Commission
Study Session.
The project site is located within the Coastal Zone, adjacent to Magnolia Marsh
in the City of Huntington Beach. The project site previously contained three
oil storage tanks that were demolished in 2017. The Draft PEIR evaluated two
development alternatives at an equal level of consideration. The alternatives
were identified as the proposed project (mixed-use) and Alternative i
residential).
Under the proposed project, the Specific Plan will establish a land use plan and
develop standards and guidelines to allow for creation of the proposed mixed-
use development comprised of a 211,000 SF lodge/guest house accommodations
with a maximum of 215 rooms, including 175 guest rooms and family/group
overnight accommodations with 40 rooms; 19,000 SF of ancillary and visitor -
serving retail and dining; and up to 250 for -sale residential units (at 15 dwelling
units per acre). Additionally, the proposed project includes 2.8 acres of Coastal
Conservation area adjacent to Magnolia Marsh and 2.8 acres of park. Alternative
1 would eliminate the lodge, guesthouse, and retail components, and would
include a residential development at a maximum of 250 residential units (at 11
dwelling units per acre). All other components, including park and open space
described above under the proposed project, would remain the same.

The Ritz Carlton Residences Project-Addendur[r to the City of Newport Beach General Plan
IUpdateEnvironmentalimpactReport
Psomas prepared an Addendum to the City of Newport Beach General Plan Update
EIR pursuant to CEQA for the Ritz -Carton Residences Project within the 9.53 -acne
VEA Newport Beach, A Marriott Resort and Spa. The project proposes conversion
Of up to 36 percent of the existing 532 hotel rooms to hotel branded residences.
The existing southernmost building, Harbor Landing, would be demolished to
accommodate construction of the new residential building. The demolition of
the Harbor Landing building and interior reconfiguration of the Harbor Point
building would result in reduction of 159 hotel units (i.e., removal of 133 units
from Harbor Landing and reduction of 26 units of 153 units from,Harbor Point).
The new 22 -story building would include 159 hotel branded residences, but
the total units would remain at 532. The new building is proposed to be up to
approximately 295 feet in height, including rooftop appurtenances.
The hotel parking would be provided at a 6 -level (4 levels subterranean and 2
levels above ground), 403 -space parking structure, which will replace the existing
parking structure. For the hotel branded residences, a new 5 -level, 429 -space
subterranean parking structure would be constructed adjacent to the new
building.
The proposed project site would include extensive landscape and
hardscape areas with pedestrian circulation. The conceptual landscape
plan would include,a hierarchy of plant materials including trees, vines,
shrubs, and turf throughout the project site and irropen space areas.
Additionally,,a new 8,000-square-foot.event lawn would be located
along the southern boundary of the property near the new residential
building and hotel pool area. The new event lawn would be used for
outdoor events with the added function as a terminus for the fire
access road.

SUBJECT:Approving and Awarding an Agreement for Professional
Project Management Services to CivicStone, Inc. for the
Leisure World Bathroom Accessibility Program
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7784:
1. Approving and awarding a Professional Services Agreement to CivicStone
Inc. for project management services related to the Leisure World Bathroom
Accessibility Program pursuant to the exemption from competitive bidding
requirements set forth in Seal Beach Municipal Code 3.20.025(C), for a
three-year term in the not-to-exceed amount of $74,000 per Fiscal Year
pursuant to the Scope of Services submitted by CivicStone Inc.; and,
2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement with CivicStone Inc.
on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Since 2005, the City of Seal Beach (City) has offered a grant program to Leisure
World residents utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The
City is a sub-recipient of these funds, which must first be approved for expenditure
by the County of Orange. CivicStone, Inc. has acted as the project manager for
this program since its inception, helping nearly 1,550 homeowners obtain grant
assistance to modify their bathrooms and facilitate aging in place.
As the project manager, CivicStone works directly with applicants to market the
program, determine eligibility, complete application packages, and oversee
multiple contractors to execute the renovation work. In addition, CivicStone
completes and maintains all compliance reporting. As CDBG is a federally-funded
program, the reporting requirements are onerous and detailed.

The contract is for a three-year term, Fiscal Years 2026-27, 2027-28, and
2028-29, which parallels the grant application the City has submitted to the County
of Orange for funding. The contract amount is set at $74,000 per year for project
management. The County has continued to allow a portion of the administrative
costs to be funded by the grant. The project application includes a funding match
of $35,000 from the City’s General Fund for program and contract administration
each year and will be included in each of the Fiscal Year’s Annual Budgets.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution and agreement as to
form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The allocated amount per fiscal year for 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29 will be
$74,000. These funds will be incorporated into the City’s annual budget. The
project application also includes a funding match of $35,000 from the City’s
General Fund to support program and contract administration each year, which will
be reflected in the annual budgets for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7784:
1. Approving and awarding a Professional Services Agreement to CivicStone
Inc. for project management services related to the Leisure World Bathroom
Accessibility Program pursuant to the exemption from competitive bidding

THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Barbara Arenado, Director of Finance/City Treasurer
SUBJECT:Adopt the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital
Improvement Budget, Set the Appropriations Limit for
Fiscal Year 2026-27, and Authorize the Use of the Cost
Recovery Schedule in Fiscal Year 2026-27
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council hold a public hearing and adopt Resolution 7785:
1. Adopting the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement
Budget and authorizing actions in furtherance thereof; and,
2. Setting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27; and,
3. Authorizing the use of the Cost Recovery Schedule in Fiscal
Year 2026-27.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City Charter requires that the City Council hold a public hearing prior to the
adoption of the annual budget and that the budget be adopted by June 30th each
year.
The Proposed Budget for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 aligns with the City
Council's objectives of ensuring fiscal stability, delivering excellent services,
maintaining a safe City, and fostering a desirable community. The Proposed
FY 2026-27 Budget serves as a comprehensive tool, encompassing a policy
document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a means of communication
to effectively guide departments and ensure transparency in City operations
throughout the year. Throughout this year’s budget cycle, the City Council
conducted a Budget Study Session to establish goals and lay the framework for
the budget development process, held two (2) public budget workshops where the
budget was detailed for the year, and held an additional Capital Improvement
Project meeting to discuss ongoing capital projects.

Established Goals for FY 2026-27 include:
The City’s priorities span economic development, infrastructure, public safety,
and community engagement. Each goal represents both a policy direction and an
operational commitment.
1.Billboards: Advance policy direction and implementation strategies for
billboards, including evaluation of revenue potential to support City
initiatives.
2.Lifeguard Headquarters/Police Substation: Develop a comprehensive
roadmap for constructing a new facility that enhances public safety
services.
3.Main Street Beautification: Deliver near-term improvements that enhance
the appearance and functionality of the Main Street area using existing
resources.
4.Paid Parking Report: Evaluate options for paid parking feasibility to
improve management and generate sustainable revenue.
5.Business First Working Group: Strengthen partnerships with the
business community and evaluate updates to the Main Street Specific Plan.
6.Special Events Expansion: Explore opportunities to expand community
events and maximize use of City spaces through partnerships.
7.Olympics Working Group (2028): Position the City to benefit from regional
opportunities associated with the 2028 Olympic Games.
8.Strategic Plan Communication: Enhance transparency through regular
updates and clear communication with the public and City Council.
The FY 2026-27 Budget continues to prioritize the delivery of high-quality essential
services while advancing the City Council’s strategic priorities and long-term
operational goals. Building upon the progress achieved over the past fiscal year,
the City remains focused on maintaining strong public safety services, investing in
critical infrastructure, enhancing community engagement, and improving quality of
life for residents. Key initiatives underway include continued advancement of the
Lifeguard Headquarters and Police Substation where City Council has directed
staff to set additional funding aside. The City is also in the process of implementing
the Business First and Olympic Working Groups, expansion of special event
opportunities, and ongoing efforts to strengthen communication and transparency
surrounding the City’s Strategic Plan and SMART Goals.
The City continues to demonstrate operational excellence across all departments.
The organization closed the fiscal year with a balanced budget, received national
and statewide recognition for financial reporting and transparency, processed
public records requests in a timely and efficient manner, and successfully delivered
multiple Capital Improvement Program projects throughout the community. Public
safety departments continued to perform at a high level, with Marine Safety
achieving zero drownings and the Police Department responding to more than
37,000 calls for service. Public Works secured significant grant funding to support
infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and long-term resiliency projects
citywide.

Community Services is expanding recreational opportunities and community
engagement, with continued success at the Seal Beach Tennis and Pickleball
Center, increased participation in City events, and ongoing support for annual
traditions like Run Seal Beach, the Holiday Tree Lighting, and the Christmas
Parade. Additionally, transportation options for seniors are continued through the
use of the Senior Shuttle and Dial-a-Ride programs.
The Budget reflects strong fiscal stewardship, maintaining the City Council’s 25%
General Fund reserve target to protect against natural disasters, economic
uncertainty, and fiscal disruptions. The City also made two (2) discretionary
payments to reduce its CalPERS unfunded pension liability in 2024 and 2025 and
is allocating an additional $250,000 in FY 2026-27 to support further funding to
support our employees and paying down that liability. Funding has also been
dedicated to the Fleet Fund to ensure long-term maintenance and planning for
emergency and service vehicles. Together, these measures reinforce the City’s
commitment to financial sustainability and maintaining high-quality public services.
Community Development continues to operate at a high service level, with
permitting and Code Enforcement activity significantly increased compared to a
decade ago. The Department remains responsive to evolving State laws,
particularly in housing and zoning, and received certification of the 6th Cycle
Housing Element at the beginning of 2026. The Department has effectively used
a $500,000 Coastal Commission grant to advance the Local Coastal Program
(LCP), having created drafts of the Land Use Plan and Implementation Plan of the
LCP, with the target of presenting the drafts to the council and public for review in
the Fall of 2026 and to adopt the LCP in the Fall of 2027. The Department also
continues to effectively utilize federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds for senior housing improvements and community facility upgrades.
Public Works will be maintaining high levels of service to the extent resources allow
with the increasing demands for aging infrastructure preservation, regulatory
mandates compliance, and development services support. Focus will also be
placed on balancing the water and wastewater rates to ensure healthy and safe
utility services to constituents and coordinating with the regional, state, and federal
partners on strategic planning initiatives such as trash mitigation, coastal
engineering, water resiliency, and transportation planning.
The FY 2026-27 budget assumptions reflect continued economic uncertainty,
inflationary pressures, and local market conditions. Property tax revenues are
projected to increase 4.3% in FY 2026-27 and average 3.4% annually over the
five-year forecast, supported by strong residential property values, limited
inventory, and continued reassessments of existing homes. Sales tax revenues,
including Measures BB and GG, are projected conservatively due to slowing
discretionary consumer spending and broader economic volatility, though long-
term growth is anticipated to improve beginning in FY 2027-28. Utility Users Tax
revenues are expected to remain relatively flat as energy costs stabilize, while
Transient Occupancy Tax revenues are projected to level off as the City’s
hospitality market has largely reached capacity. Charges for Services revenues

are expected to increase 6.4%, driven primarily by continued strong participation
at the Tennis and Pickleball Center.
Expenditure assumptions continue to reflect rising operational and personnel-
related costs. Regular Salaries and Benefits increased approximately 3%, though
current costs are temporarily moderated by employee turnover and new
employees entering lower salary steps and the PEPRA retirement tier. Retirement
costs are projected to increase 7.5% due to CalPERS actuarial adjustments,
partially offset by strong investment earnings and the City’s continued discretionary
pension payments. Other Pay and Benefits decreased 2.9% due primarily to
reduced overtime and a reduction in Fire Contract, although Fire services costs
are anticipated to increase approximately 4.5% annually in the five year forecast.
Insurance costs through CJPIA increased 7.2%, and Maintenance and Operations
expenditures continue to rise due to inflation, utility increases, and contract
renewals. The City will continue monitoring economic conditions and adjusting
fiscal assumptions as necessary to maintain long-term financial stability and
essential City services.
The Proposed FY 2026-27 Budget is balanced and is available on the City’s
website. The Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Sun Newspaper,
as required by the City’s Charter.
The proposed budget reflects the operating and capital activities of 34 funds across
11 departments and comprises a total of 114 full-time positions, including three (3)
contract professionals in the Community Development Department, along with
43.54 part-time positions (expressed in full-time equivalents). This represents a
net increase of 0.62 FTE’s compared to the previous fiscal year, resulting from the
elimination of an Assistant City Manager position, addition of a Human Resources
Manager, Human Resources Specialist, reduction in one unfunded special funds
police officer, as well as reductions in part time personnel while including two new
part-time police aides focused on Main Street and the downtown area, specifically
to support parking enforcement and help address ongoing demand in that area
and adding one part-time IT aide to keep up with the growing demands in
technology, which continues to impact every department. In addition, structural
position changes are included to better align with the City Manager’s organization.
That includes strengthening HR functions and placing Community Services under
the City Manager’s office to improve coordination and oversight. While realigning
some existing positions, moving key staff into deputy roles to better oversee their
functional areas, and advancing an associate engineer position to a senior level to
support increasing project complexity.

Proposed Budget – General Fund
The Proposed FY 2026-27 General Fund Budget includes estimated revenues of
$50.0 million, with operating expenditures of $50.0 million and capital project
expenditures of $16.8 million, including a $250,000 additional discretionary
payment to CalPERS. The table below shows a summary of the estimated
revenues and expenditures for the General Fund.
Utility Users Tax (UUT)
Ordinance 1643 Section 4.50.125 of the City Municipal Code requires that the rate
of Utility Users Tax (UUT) be reviewed annually. Based on the Fiscal Year 2026-
27 revenue projections, UUT remains the third largest revenue source to the
General Fund providing $5.43 million of General Fund revenue. The current Utility
Users Tax rate is 10 percent on electric, gas, and telecommunications and 9
percent on pre-paid wireless services.
Cost Recovery Schedule
The City maintains a Cost Recovery Schedule (Fee Schedule) identifying
applicable fees for various City services. Fees are reviewed and updated every
three to five years. The City recently completed a comprehensive fee study. Annual
inflationary adjustments help avoid degradation of cost recovery that occurs if fees
remain unchanged while costs increase. In between comprehensive fee studies,
the City Council has authorized the City Manager to update annually the fees,
charges, rates, and fines based on the annual percentage change in the all-urban
Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA (CPI). In
addition to the inflationary adjustments, several minor changes have been made
to enhance the fee schedule clarity and to closely align fees to the cost of services
provided.

Recalibration of these fees simply provides an offset of existing
expenditures/needs relating to the cost of providing existing services rather than a
source of funding for expanded service levels, thus there is no net incremental
revenue expected.
Appropriations Limit
On November 6, 1979, the voters of California added Article XIII B to the State
Constitution placing various limitations on the appropriations of the State and local
governments. Article XIII B provides that the appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year
2026-27 shall not exceed the appropriations limit for the prior year adjusted for the
change in the cost of living and the change in population. The appropriations limit
for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $43,108,168. It should be noted that only revenues
derived from taxes are subject to the appropriations limit.
FY 2026-27 Budget Resolution
The attached resolution does the following:
1. Adopts the Proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Budget for Fiscal
Year 2026-27; and,

CITY MANAGER’S MESSAGE FY 2026-2027
June 8, 2026
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
With appreciation for the collaboration and dedication of the City Council, staff, and
community, I am pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget for the City of Seal
Beach. This budget serves not only as a financial plan, but as a reflection of the City’s
priorities, values, and commitment to maintaining the high quality of life that defines our
community.
Over the past several years, the City has taken a measured and strategic approach to
stabilizing its financial position. Through conservative revenue forecasting, careful expenditure management, and a
commitment to maintaining appropriate reserves, Seal Beach has strengthened its fiscal foundation. This budget
builds upon that progress by aligning resources with the City Council’s priorities while maintaining a clear focus on
long-term sustainability.
Seal Beach operates within a unique environment as a largely built-out coastal community with limited opportunities
for significant new revenue growth. Unlike many neighboring jurisdictions, the City does not benefit from a large
commercial or industrial tax base. As a result, the City must be deliberate and thoughtful in how it allocates its
resources. Despite these constraints, Seal Beach continues to deliver a high level of service that reflects the
expectations of its residents, including Police, Marine Safety, and Fire services, as well as recreation programs,
community events, and comprehensive Public Works operations. Maintaining these services while planning for the
future remains a central objective of this budget.
Like cities across California, Seal Beach continues to face increasing pension obligations, rising health care costs,
inflationary pressures, and evolving State and Federal mandates. These structural challenges are not temporary and
require a proactive and balanced approach. This budget addresses these pressures through prudent spending,
strengthened cost recovery strategies, and the evaluation of new revenue opportunities where appropriate. At the
same time, it avoids actions that would create additional long-term risk or reduce the City’s financial flexibility.
A defining element of this year’s budget is a continued shift toward proactive and strategic planning. In prior years,
the City relied more heavily on incremental adjustments to respond to changing conditions. This budget reflects a
more forward-looking approach, emphasizing early identification of fiscal pressures, clearer prioritization of resources,
and deliberate alignment of expenditures with long-term objectives. This shift strengthens the City’s ability to manage
uncertainty and better positions the organization to sustain service levels over time.
Over the past year, the City has continued to align its operations with the City Council’s priorities through the
development and implementation of SMART goals. This framework provides greater clarity, accountability, and
measurable progress, ensuring that the City’s work is directly tied to policy direction. During Fiscal Year 2025-26, the
City made meaningful progress toward these objectives, including advancing planning efforts for the Lifeguard
Headquarters and Police Substation, evaluating parking strategies in the Main Street area, establishing the Business
First and Olympic Working Groups, exploring expanded community event opportunities, and enhancing
communication of City initiatives.
This budget continues that alignment by ensuring resources are directed toward these priorities and by reinforcing
accountability across departments. Departments are expected to demonstrate how their work supports adopted goals,
improves service delivery, and contributes to measurable outcomes. This approach strengthens the connection
between policy direction and operational execution and ensures that limited resources are used effectively and
transparently.
7
CITY MANAGER’S MESSAGE FY 2026-2027
A key focus of this year’s budget is strengthening organizational alignment and service delivery. The City is taking a
deliberate approach to ensuring its organizational structure reflects current operational needs and service demands.
This includes realigning resources to better support citywide initiatives, enhancing coordination across departments,
and addressing workload demands in critical service areas such as public works, public safety, and technology. These
efforts are intended to improve efficiency, strengthen accountability, and ensure the organization is positioned to
effectively deliver on City Council priorities.
In addition, the City continues to evaluate opportunities to improve service delivery through the use of technology,
data, and process improvements. Investments in systems modernization and digital tools are intended to streamline
operations, enhance communication, and provide residents with more efficient and responsive services. These
improvements are especially important as service expectations continue to evolve and as the City seeks to do more
with limited resources.
This budget reflects a balanced approach to managing limited resources while maintaining service levels. The City
continues to evaluate programs and expenditures to ensure alignment with priorities, while also identifying
opportunities to improve efficiency and maximize the impact of available funding. This includes reviewing service
delivery models, exploring cost recovery where appropriate, and ensuring that new investments are carefully
considered in the context of long-term financial sustainability.
At the same time, the City recognizes the importance of maintaining flexibility in responding to changing conditions.
Economic uncertainty, fluctuations in revenue, and emerging service demands require the City to remain adaptable.
This budget is structured to provide that flexibility, while still maintaining a careful approach to spending and resource
allocation.
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget maintains the City Council’s policy target of a 25 percent General Fund reserve,
providing a strong financial cushion to absorb potential economic impacts. The budget also includes continued
progress toward reducing unfunded pension liabilities through additional discretionary payments, as well as targeted
investments in infrastructure, fleet, and technology. These investments are essential to maintaining service levels,
protecting public assets, and ensuring long-term resilience.
At the same time, the budget acknowledges that structural challenges remain. Operating costs continue to grow at a
pace that outstrips revenue growth, placing pressure on the City’s long-term financial outlook. Addressing this
imbalance will require ongoing focus, careful prioritization, and continued evaluation of both expenditures and revenue
strategies. The City will need to remain flexible and responsive as economic conditions evolve and as new challenges
emerge.
Engaging with the community remains a central priority. Residents are encouraged to participate in City Council
meetings, visit City Hall, and connect with staff through a variety of channels. The City’s Ask City Hall service provides
a direct and efficient way for residents to submit questions and service requests, ensuring they are routed to the
appropriate department for timely response. In addition, the MySealBeach mobile application offers a convenient
platform for residents and businesses to report issues, receive updates on City projects and events, and stay informed
about City news. These tools support transparency and strengthen the City’s connection with the community.
Looking ahead, the City faces an increasingly uncertain economic environment. External factors, including inflation,
interest rate volatility, and broader economic conditions, continue to impact local government operations. At the same
time, internal pressures, including rising labor and contract costs, require thoughtful and deliberate management.
While the City is well-positioned today, maintaining that position will require continued discipline, adaptability, and a
focus on long-term financial sustainability.
8
CITY MANAGER’S MESSAGE FY 2026-2027
This budget is designed to balance those priorities. It maintains essential services, supports strategic investments,
and preserves financial stability, while recognizing the need for ongoing evaluation and adjustment as conditions
evolve. Through continued collaboration between the City Council, staff, and the community, Seal Beach is well-
prepared to navigate future challenges while preserving the character and quality of life that make the City a unique
and valued community.
GENERAL FUND BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
The FY 2026-27 General Fund Budget includes cautious revenue assumptions as the City and region are increasingly
challenged by high inflation, fiscal policy shifts, Middle East issues and economic uncertainty. General fund revenues
are estimated at $50.0 million, with operating expenditures of $50.0 million and capital project expenditures of $16.8
million, including a $250,000 additional discretionary payment to CalPERS. As with the Citywide budget, the General
Fund portion of the capital improvement program includes re-appropriation of all encumbrances carried forward from
previous years.
The City conducted a Capital Improvement (CIP) Project Public Study Session and held two Public Budget Workshops
for questions and answers. During the session and workshops, comprehensive evaluations of departments budget
and their accomplishments, objectives, and program and service impacts were presented. The additional CIP study
session was held to discuss Citywide capital projects and goals of the City Council.
The City's General Fund is not restricted and can be used for many public services. The FY 2026-27 Budget is
balanced with a surplus of $15,976. The table below shows a summary of the revenues and expenditures for the
General Fund.

CITYWIDE BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
The Citywide FY 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget for the City of Seal Beach are $136.5 million
(including transfers out). The City's All Funds Budget includes different types of funds, such as governmental,
proprietary, and internal service funds. There are also grants and other restricted funds that are designated for specific
services and purposes provided by higher levels of government. Some of these funds receive ongoing revenue
streams while others are one-time competitive grants. The All Funds Budget also includes funds that have available
balances that can be spent as needed or to complete specific projects. Each fund has its own accounting and reporting
requirements as per government regulations and in some cases, statutes. It is made up of various revenue sources,
such as taxes, user fees, fines, facility rentals, and development-related fees. The table below shows a summary of
the estimated Citywide appropriations for all funds.

TOTAL 108,756,996$ 136,523,774$ 27,766,778$ 25.5%
The transfer out and Capital Improvement Program includes re-appropriation of all encumbrances carried forward
from previous years. They are reappropriated through the annual Capital Improvement Program rollover process. The
personnel services portion of the FY 2026-27 Budget has been prepared by projecting salaries and benefits by position
and has been adjusted by the appropriate amounts as provided for or anticipated in the applicable Memoranda of
Understanding for the following employee groups: Police Officers Association, Police Management Association, Seal
Beach Marine Safety Management Association, Mid-Management and Confidential, Seal Beach Supervisors and
Professionals Association, Orange County Employees Association, and Executive Management contracts. No
additional full-time positions have been included in the budget.
The adopted budget reflects the operating and capital activities of 34 funds across 11 departments and comprises a
total of 114 full-time positions, including three contract professionals in the Community Development Department,
along with 43.54 part-time positions (expressed in full-time equivalents). This represents a net increase of 0.62 full-
time position compared to the previous fiscal year, resulting from the elimination of an Assistant City Manager position
and the addition of a Human Resources Manager and Human Resources Specialist, and the reduction of an unfunded
police officer position. This position has been unfunded from special funds for some time.
The City continues to evaluate its organizational structure to ensure positions aligned with current operational needs
and service demands. While several classifications warrant broader review, a few key positions have been identified
as being below market and characterized by long-tenured staff, with compensation structures that have not kept pace
with industry benchmarks. In response, the City is strategically realigning these roles to better reflect evolving
responsibilities. This includes reassigning the Deputy Director of Finance and the Deputy Director of Recreation and
Community Services to support increasing demands within the City Manager’s Office, HR, and Finance, where they
will take on special projects and citywide initiatives. Additionally, a Senior Engineer position is being emphasized to
address the growing workload within Public Works, ensuring the City can effectively manage increasing capital
projects and infrastructure needs. The adopted budget includes the addition of two part-time Police Aides assigned to
the Main Street area to enhance visibility, improve response to quality-of-life issues, and allow sworn officers to remain
focused on higher-priority public safety needs. These positions support increased activity in the area, including events,
business engagement, and visitor traffic, while providing a cost-effective approach to service delivery. In addition, a
part-time IT Aide is included to support the City’s growing technological demands. As workloads continue to increase
and the threat of cyberattacks becomes more frequent and sophisticated, this position will assist with system
maintenance, user support, and cybersecurity efforts, helping to strengthen the City’s overall technology infrastructure
and resilience.
The maintenance and operations, and capital outlay/improvements portions of the FY 2026-27 Budget have been
prepared by using historical data as a basis to estimate costs, which are then verified through a zero-based budgeting
process.

CITY MANAGER’S MESSAGE FY 2026-2027
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is included as part of the FY 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement
Budget. This program identifies specific projects that are planned for construction in the City. Improvements to the
beach and pier, buildings and facilities, parks, sewer, storm drain, streets and transportation, and water systems are
discussed in the project information sheets in the Capital Improvement Program section of the budget. During FY
2026-27, the Public Works Department is expected to spend approximately $48.5 million on total capital projects. This
is only an estimate and could change as the Public Works Department continues to make progress on various projects.
LONG RANGE PLANNING
The FY 2026-27 Budget indicates that sufficient financial resources exist for this year. While those resources can fund
operations, the City faces long-term financial challenges as evidenced in the long-term Financial Plan in funding its
obligations in the future.
General Fund Fiscal Sustainability
The City has developed an initial fiscal sustainability plan that combines strategic revenue enhancements, expenditure
controls, service delivery adjustments, updated revenue projections, and continued efforts to reduce long-term
pension liabilities through additional discretionary payments to CalPERS. The Proposed Budget includes a third
Additional Discretionary Payment toward the City's unfunded pension liability, and staff will return to the City Council
with a comprehensive pension paydown strategy to further evaluate long-term cost savings and fiscal benefits.
In addition, several potential revenue initiatives are currently under evaluation and will be brought back to the City
Council for consideration, including digital billboard opportunities and a comprehensive business license review. While
these initiatives are not currently incorporated into the City's long-range financial projections, they may provide
additional revenue-generating opportunities to support future fiscal sustainability efforts if approved by the City
Council. Collectively, these strategies position the City to proactively address anticipated fiscal challenges, maintain
service levels, strengthen long-term financial stability, and preserve the City's strong fiscal foundation in the years
ahead.
Recognizing that the City is largely built out and may not qualify for many grant opportunities, identifying and
developing ongoing, reliable revenue sources remain essential, as expenditures have historically risen faster than
projected. Maintaining a disciplined and thoughtful approach to expenditure planning will be critical for moving forward.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
All City staff deserve appreciation, along with special recognition for their diligent efforts and high standards in
developing realistic revenue and expenditure projections that continue to meet the needs of the community. The City
of Seal Beach is supported by a lean, dedicated, accountable, effective, and well-managed team of professionals
focused on the needs of the community. The City extends a special thank you to the staff in the Finance Department
for their unwavering commitment and high expectations in completing the budget amid a period of fiscal and
operational complexity. Their leadership, dedication, long hours, and necessary teamwork required to bring this
budget to completion is greatly appreciated.
We also extend our sincere gratitude to the City Council for their thoughtful leadership and governance throughout
this budget process. Their strategic vision, careful deliberation, and commitment to fiscal responsibility have provided
essential guidance in ensuring this budget serves the long-term interests of our community while maintaining the high
level of services our residents expect and deserve.

CITY MANAGER’S MESSAGE FY 2026-2027
CONCLUSION
As we move into the coming fiscal year, the City faces an increasingly complex and uncertain economic landscape
that requires both discipline and adaptability. While Seal Beach continues to benefit from a strong foundation built on
prudent financial management, external factors, such as persistent inflation, elevated interest rates, and global
instability, including ongoing tensions in the Middle East, are contributing to volatility in energy markets, supply chains,
and overall economic confidence. At the same time, domestic pressures, including rising labor and contract costs and
uncertainty in state and federal funding, continue to challenge local governments. In this environment, the City must
remain thoughtful and deliberate, focusing not only on addressing immediate needs but also on positioning itself for
long-term fiscal sustainability.
The adopted budget reflects this balanced and forward-looking approach. It prioritizes maintaining essential services
and meeting the needs of the community, while continuing to make strategic investments in the City’s long-term
financial health. The City has maintained reserves at approximately 25%, consistent with policy and aligned with best
practices, ensuring a strong financial cushion to absorb potential economic shocks. In addition, the budget includes
continued discretionary payments toward pension liabilities and targeted investments in critical areas such as fleet
and technology infrastructure. At the same time, we acknowledge there are ongoing structural challenges, particularly
that maintenance and operational costs continue to grow faster than revenues, requiring ongoing discipline, careful
prioritization, and difficult trade-offs. These pressures have also limited the City’s ability to expand staffing at the pace
that service demands may otherwise warrant.
Looking ahead, the City remains committed to transparency, accountability, and proactive financial management.
Staff will continue to closely monitor economic trends and provide regular updates to ensure timely adjustments as
conditions evolve. While the City is on solid financial footing today, sustaining that position will require continued effort,
including the exploration and implementation of new, reliable revenue sources. Through continued collaboration
between the City Council, staff, and the community, Seal Beach is well-prepared to navigate uncertainty, maintain
high-quality services, and preserve the character and quality of life that make the City a unique and valued community.

GUIDE TO THE BUDGET FY 2026-2027
The annual budget sets forth the resources and appropriations for the fiscal year and provides the legal authority for
expenditures and a means for control of City operations throughout the fiscal year. The City Charter requires that a budget
for the fiscal year be adopted by June 30th of each year.
The budget is a financial plan that serves as a communication tool that encompasses the City’s goals, direction and financial
resources which shows how taxpayer dollars are being spent. The budget document:
• Determines the City programs and services being provided to the community
• Details expenditure requirements by City department and program
• Details the estimated revenues available to meet expenditure requirements.
The annual budget demonstrates the City’s accountability to its residents, businesses and the community-at-large.
BUDGET PROCESS
Operating Budget
The budget process provides departments the opportunity to justify departmental needs, to propose changes in services,
and to recommend revisions in organizational structure and work methods. It also enables the City Manager to review these
aspects and make appropriate recommendations to the City Council.
The City uses zero-based budgeting for all accounts, programs, and departments. Zero-based budgeting is a method of
budgeting in which all proposed expenditures must be justified each year. Departments prepare their budget requests in
January and February. Each department then meets with the Finance Department and the City Manager to discuss their
requests for the coming fiscal year. Subsequent to the meetings with the departments, the Finance Department works in
conjunction with the other departments to implement budget balancing measures to establish the level of services to be
rendered with the available resources.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget
The CIP budget is a 5-year planning tool that details planned capital projects for the current budget year and the next five
years. Capital projects are broken down by category including: beach and pier, building and facilities, parks, sewer, storm
drain, streets and transportation and water. Appropriations are only approved by City Council for the current fiscal year.
The remaining fiscal years will be approved by City Council during later budgetary cycles. The CIP budget also includes a
summary of unfunded projects which are crucial to identifying and planning for the future needs of the City.
The goal of the CIP is to effectively manage the City’s physical assets by delivering capital projects that meet schedule,
stay within budget, and minimize the impact to the public.
Preparation of Preliminary Budget and Budget Adoption
Once the budget numbers are finalized, the Finance Department prepares the Proposed Operating and Capital Budget
document. The City holds a minimum of one study session in May to present the Proposed Operating and Capital Budget
to the City Council and provides the opportunity for the community to comment. The Finance Department incorporates any
changes requested by City Council in a revised Proposed Operating and Capital Budget which is presented to City Council
for adoption in June.
A summarized timeline of the City’s budget process is below.
19
GUIDE TO THE BUDGET FY 2026-2027
BASIS OF BUDGETING
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Project Funds.
This means that revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and available. Measurable means the
amount of the transaction can be determined and available means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when liabilities are incurred, except
that principal and interest payments on long-term debt are recognized as expenditures when due. The accrual basis of
accounting is utilized by all Enterprise and Internal Service Funds. This means that revenues are recorded when earned
and that expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
The City’s basis for budgeting is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and with the City’s financial statements as presented in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) with the
following exceptions:
• Capital expenditures within the Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds are recorded as assets on an
accounting basis but are shown as expenditures on a budgetary basis.
• Depreciation of capital assets and amortization of various deferred charges are recorded on an accounting basis
only. These charges are not reflected in the budget document.
• Principal payments on long-term debt within the Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds are applied to the
outstanding liability on an accounting basis but are shown as expenditures on a budgetary basis.
• Continued/carryover appropriations approved by City Council at the beginning of the fiscal year are added to the
City’s Budget but are not included in the budget document or original budget submission to City Council.

FINANCIAL AND BUDGET POLICIES FY 2026-2027
The City’s budget development is shaped by several financial and budget policies. These policies ensure the organization’s
consistency, transparency and responsibility from year to year. This section identifies some of the financial policies
developed by the Director of Finance/Treasurer and City Manager which are used to guide the development of the annual
budget. The policies described below are, in most cases, summaries of the City Charter or Council Policy language. This
list is not exhaustive and as policies are modified or adopted, they will be incorporated into future budget publications.
BALANCED BUDGET AND USE OF ONE-TIME REVENUE
The City has adopted a Balanced Budget Fiscal Policy to ensure that the City’s budgets are consistent with Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommendations. GFOA recommends that governments adopt a policy that defines
a balanced budget, commits to ensuring a balanced budget is maintained to provide the best possible services to taxpayers,
and provides disclosure when the City deviates from a balanced budget.
The City’s policy is to adopt an annual budget that is structurally balanced at an individual fund level. A budget is structurally
balanced when ongoing revenues equal ongoing expenditures, and limited duration or one-time revenues are only used for
limited duration or one-time costs. This means current operating expenditures are financed with current revenues. When
developing a balanced budget, the following elements must be considered:
• The City’s reserve policies for individual funds (e.g., General Fund, Water and Sewer) must be taken into
consideration to achieve or maintain an individual fund’s reserve target;
• If a structural imbalance occurs or one-time revenues are used, the budget will include a plan to bring revenues
and expenditures into structural balance; and
• Appropriated revenues may include transfers from fund balances where such fund balance is expected to exist by
the end of the fiscal year preceding the year of the adopted budget, and contingent upon meeting the minimum
reserve requirements.
RESERVE FUND POLICY
Background
Appropriate reserves are a key attribute of a financially stable organization and are an important component of the City of
Seal Beach’s (the “City”) overall financial health. Strong reserves position an organization to weather significant economic
downturns more effectively, manage the consequences of outside agency actions that may result in revenue reductions,
and address unexpected emergencies. Establishing a formalized Reserve Policy will serve as the policy framework to
enable the City to meet its financial commitments and address unexpected future events in a fiscally prudent manner.
The City considered a number of factors when establishing the Reserve Policy (the “Policy”), including the Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Best Management Practices, previously established Financial and Budget Policies,
as well as the City’s current and historical risk profile and financial condition.
Purpose
The purpose of the Reserve Policy is to build upon the City’s established Financial and Budget Policies and to document
the City’s approach to establishing and maintaining strong General Fund reserves. The guidelines set forth will better enable
the City to mitigate various risks, which could result in a shortfall of available money to meet basic services and needs of
the City. Examples of risks include natural disasters, such as earthquakes, storms, floods, or unexpected shortfalls in
revenue sources, such as property taxes and sales tax.
This policy is designed to:
1. Identify funds for which reserves should be established and maintained.
2. Establish target reserve levels and methodology for determining levels.
3. Establish criteria for the use of reserves and mechanisms to replenish reserves.
22
FINANCIAL AND BUDGET POLICIES FY 2026-2027
Reserve Fund Policy
Reserve balances will be reviewed on an annual basis at, or near, the end of the fiscal year to ensure compliance with this
Policy. In the event that the reserves exceed the established targets, excess monies can be transferred annually to the
Capital Reserve. On an as-needed basis, money from the Capital Reserve can be used to supplement the Disaster/Hazard
Mitigation Reserve to cover any shortfalls created by a public emergency or natural disaster.
Unassigned General Fund Balance:
The City’s policy is to maintain an unassigned General Fund balance of a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 25% of
operating expenditures to maintain the City’s credit worthiness and cash flow requirements. Unassigned fund balance refers
to the portion of the fund balance that is not obligated to assigned funds, thus making it available for use as previously
identified.
The General Fund’s unassigned fund balance is maintained to provide for:
• Contingencies for unforeseen operating or capital needs.
• Economic uncertainties, local disasters, and other financial hardships or downturns in the local or national economy.
• Cash flow requirements.
The purpose of this reserve is to provide budgetary stabilization and not serve as an alternate funding source for new
programs and ongoing operating expenditures. Recommendations to appropriate from the Unassigned General Fund
Balance will be brought forward by the City Manager and will require approval by a majority of the City Council. In the event
this reserve is reduced below the amount established by this Policy, the City Council shall prepare a plan as promptly as
conditions warrant to replenish the balance to the policy level.
Committed General Fund Balance:
Committed General Fund balance is the obligation of funds due to policy implementation. The City will maintain the following
reserve categories of committed general fund balance.
Disaster/Hazard Mitigation Reserve
A Disaster/Hazard Mitigation Reserve will be maintained for the purpose of sustaining General Fund operations in the
case of a public emergency such as a natural disaster or other unforeseen catastrophic event. The Disaster/Hazard
Mitigation Reserve will not be accessed to meet operating shortfalls or to fund new programs or personnel. This reserve
may be expended only if an event is declared to be a public emergency by the City Manager and confirmed by a majority
vote of the City Council, when such expenditures are necessary to ensure the safety of the City’s residents and their
property. The target level for this reserve is 10% of the General Fund operating expenditures.
Fiscal Policy Reserve
The GFOA recommends, at a minimum, that general-purpose governments, regardless of size, maintain unrestricted
budgetary fund balance in their general fund of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or
regular general fund operating expenditures. The City has established a Fiscal Policy Reserve to mitigate financial and
service delivery risk due to unexpected revenue shortfalls or unanticipated critical expenditures. The purpose of this
reserve is to provide budgetary stabilization and not serve as an alternative funding source for new programs and
ongoing operating expenditures. It is for one-time needs and expenditures identified in the budget and not ongoing
structural challenges. The City will aim to maintain a minimum balance in the Fiscal Policy Reserve equal to
approximately three months’ worth of the City’s General Fund operating expenditures. This minimum level will be
recalculated each year according to the newly adopted budget and will be increased by the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
generally used by the City to adjust contracts.
Recommendations to appropriate from the Fiscal Policy Reserve will be brought forward by the City Manager and will
require approval by a majority of the City Council. In the event this reserve is reduced below the amount established by
this Policy, the City Council shall prepare a plan as promptly as conditions warrant to replenish the balance to the policy
level.
23
FINANCIAL AND BUDGET POLICIES FY 2026-2027
Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Reserve
The City shall maintain a Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Reserve, set up as an internal service fund, to provide
for the timely replacement of vehicles and capital equipment with an individual replacement cost of $15,000 or more.
The annual contribution to this reserve will generally be based on the annual use allowance, which is determined based
on the estimated life of the vehicle, or equipment and its original purchase cost. The City will endeavor to maintain a
minimum amount of $500,000 in this reserve. A minimum of $310,000 of this reserve will be assigned for vehicle
replacement and the remainder will be allocated to equipment replacement.
Technology Replacement Reserve
As a subset of the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Reserve, the City shall maintain a Technology Equipment
Replacement Reserve for the replacement of technological equipment, endeavoring to maintain a minimum amount of
$150,000 in this reserve.
Capital Reserve
The City shall strive to maintain a minimum target balance of $5 million in the Capital Reserve. The Capital Reserve will
consist of the following two sub-accounts:
Capital Improvement Reserve
As part of the annual budget process, the City adopts a Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget. The City
shall establish a Capital Projects Reserve and will strive to maintain a minimum target balance in that reserve equal
to 25% of the Five-Year CIP budget.
The City Manager will recommend projects to be funded during the annual budget process. As projects are
approved, funds will be appropriated from available revenues, this reserve, or from the Unassigned General Fund
balance.
Tidelands Improvement Reserve
The City shall also establish a reserve for the Tidelands Fund. The Tidelands Fund is required by the State of
California to account for all revenues and expenditures related to the beach and pier operations in the City (lifeguard,
pier and beach operations). The City shall establish a minimum target balance for this reserve equal to 25% of the
5-year CIP budget for the Tidelands Fund.
Fund balances and projected improvement projects will be reviewed by staff and the City Council during the
presentation and approval of the annual budget.
Conclusion
Maintaining, regularly updating, and adhering to an appropriately constructed reserve policy is a good business practice
recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association, and is among the factors considered by credit rating agencies
and the investment community when assessing the credit-worthiness of an organization. The City recognizes that the
Reserve Policy is a cornerstone of an organization’s fiscal health. As such, an annual review of the Reserve Policy will be
performed and any changes to the Reserve Policy will be brought forward for City Council consideration and approval.
REVENUE MANAGEMENT
The City will strive to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to protect it from short-term fluctuations in any one
revenue source, with a focus on optimizing existing revenue sources and developing potential new revenue sources.
Revenue estimates will be based on realistic assumptions and should be estimated conservatively using information
provided by the State and other governmental agencies, consultants specializing in their field, historical trends and other
relevant information available.
24
FINANCIAL AND BUDGET POLICIES FY 2026-2027
To the extent possible, revenues are associated with operating programs. Fees and charges for services will be evaluated
and adjusted regularly through a documented evaluation and review process. The City’s objective in setting fees and
charges for services is to achieve and appropriate level of cost recovery for services based on the annual cost and fee
study, that are not provided to, or do not benefit, the community at large.
User Fee Cost Recovery Goals
Fees will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that they keep pace with changes in the cost-of-living as
well as changes in methods or levels of service delivery. User fees are fees for services that are exclusively provided by
the City and cannot exceed the cost of the service provided.
The City has established a policy for evaluating and setting user fees and cost recovery levels. The full text of the City’s
User Fee and Cost Recovery Policy is available at the Finance Department's website.
EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENT
Budgetary Control
The City’s level of budgetary control is at the department level for the General Fund and control exists at the program level
within the department. Annual budgets are set at the individual account level by program and fund. Department Heads are
responsible for budget monitoring and ensuring the overall program budget is not exceeded.
Continued/Carryover Appropriations
All unexpended or unencumbered appropriations are cancelled at the end of the fiscal year, except for appropriations for
capital projects that are required for the completion of the approved project. Other encumbered funds from the previous
fiscal year are carried over to the current fiscal year through a list of continued appropriations. The City has established a
review process that allows a department to submit justification the carryover of encumbered funds. Once submitted, the
Finance Department reviews the requested carryover to ensure only one-time contracts or purchase orders are rolled over.
Only Finance Department approved items are carried over. These continuing appropriations are not included in the budget
document.
Budget Transfers
A budget transfer is a reallocation of funds from one expenditure account to another. Budget transfers do not change the
overall budget within a fund. Departments can initiate budget transfers by submitting a request to the Finance Department.
After review and concurrence by the Finance Department, the budget transfer request will be sent to the Finance Director
for approval. The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations or positions as necessary within and between
programs and departments, as long as such transfers do not increase the adopted annual budget appropriations.
Transfer of appropriations between funds and increased appropriations are considered budget amendments and must be
authorized by the City Council. City Council approval is required for all transfers from unappropriated fund balances.
Budget Amendments
After the budget is adopted, it is sometimes necessary to amend the budget or provide for the appropriation or transfer of
additional funds. Supplemental appropriations are necessary to provide additional spending authority to meet unexpected
events that impact operations or capital projects. If the need for a supplemental appropriation arises, the department will
prepare a staff report requesting a supplemental appropriation for City Council consideration. If approved, a budget
amendment will be prepared by the Finance Department and entered into the Amended Budget.
Mid-Year Budget Review
On an annual basis, the Finance Department will provide the City Council with a budget to actual status of revenues and
expenditures as of December of each year. This presentation will be provided as soon as practical when the December
actual information is available.
25
FINANCIAL AND BUDGET POLICIES FY 2026-2027
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT MANAGEMENT
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is to systematically plan, schedule, and finance capital projects to
ensure cost-effectiveness as well as conformance with established policies. The CIP is a five-year plan organized into the
same functional groups used for the operating programs. The CIP will reflect a balance between capital replacement projects
that repair, replace, or enhance existing facilities, equipment or infrastructure, and capital facility projects that significantly
expand or add to the City’s existing fixed assets.
Construction projects and equipment purchases (excluding vehicles) whose cost exceeds $10,000 or extend the life of the
project or equipment five years or more will be included in the CIP. Minor capital outlays of less than $10,000 will be
included with the operating program budgets. Projects and equipment purchases with total costs exceeding $5,000 will be
included as part of the City’s capital assets for accounting reporting purposes.
INVESTMENT POLICY
In accordance with the City Charter and under authority granted by the City Council, the Finance Director is designated the
responsibilities of the Treasurer and is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury. The City’s
investment program is managed in conformance with federal, state, and other legal requirements, including California
Government Code Sections 16429.1-16429.4, 53600-53609, and 53630-53686.
The City’s Investment Policy is updated and approved by City Council on an annual basis to ensure the effective and
judicious fiscal and investment management of the City’s funds. The City’s portfolio is designed and managed in a manner
that provides a market rate of return consistent with the public trust and the prioritized objectives of safety, liquidity, and
yield. The full text of the City’s Investment Policy is available at the Finance Department's website.
DEBT POLICY
The California Constitution requires that long-term debt pledged by the full faith and credit of the City can only be approved
by voter referendum. Per State of California statute, the City’s debt limit is set at 15% of total adjusted assessed valuation
of all real and personal property within the City. This limit applies to debt supported by taxes. The full text of the City’s Debt
Management Policy is available at the Finance Department's website.
The City carries bonded debt secured by specific revenue sources and Lease Revenue Bonds secured by interests in City
assets as well as capital leases and loans. The Finance Department actively monitors the City’s debt portfolio to ensure
that adequate revenues exist to service debt and to identify opportunities to reduce debt service costs.
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The budget will fully appropriate the resources needed for authorized full-time positions and part-time positions. All full-time
positions must be approved by City Council. Part-time employees will generally augment regular City staffing as extra-help
employees, seasonal employees, contract employees, interns, and work-study assistants. The City Manager and
Department Heads will encourage the use of part-time rather than full-time employees to meet peak workload requirements,
fill interim vacancies, and accomplish tasks where less than full-time, year-round staffing is required. The use of part-time
employees by a department must be approved by the City Manager based on the review and recommendation of Human
Resources.
Independent contractors are not considered City employees. Independent contractors are used for a) Short-term, peak
workload assignments to be accomplished through the use of personnel contracted through an outside temporary
employment agency (OEA); and b) construction of public works projects and delivery of operating, maintenance or
specialized professional services not routinely performed by City Employees. Contract awards will be guided by the City’s
purchasing policies and procedures.
26
FINANCIAL AND BUDGET POLICIES FY 2026-2027
OVERHEAD COST ALLOCATION PLAN
An overhead cost allocation plan summarizes, in writing, the methods and procedures the City uses to allocate costs to
grants and programs. When determining an appropriate base for allocating costs, the City includes the relative benefits
received, the materiality of the cost, and the amount of time and cost to perform the allocation. The full schedule of the
City’s Overhead Cost Allocation Plan is available at the Finance Department's website. A summary of the Position Allocation
Plan is included in the Personnel and Staffing section.
APPROPRIATION (GANN) LIMIT
Proposition 4 or the “Gann Initiative” was passed in November 1979 and Article 13-B was added to the California
Constitution. For state and local governments, the initiative mandates that the total annual spending limit for a fiscal year
cannot exceed the spending limit for the prior fiscal year. This limitation is adjusted for the change in cost of living and
population, except as outlined in the government code. The initiative requires that the City Council establish its spending
limit each year by resolution.
The Appropriations Limit is calculated by determining appropriations financed by proceeds of taxes in the 1978/79 base
year and adjusting the limit each subsequent year for changes in the cost of living and population. This Appropriation Limit
is the maximum limit of proceeds from taxes the City may collect or spend each year. Appropriations financed by proceeds
of taxes are limited to actual revenues collected if they are lower than the limit. The Appropriations Limit may be amended
at any time during the fiscal year to reflect new data.
The City’s Appropriation Limit Calculation is included in the Appendix.
ANNUAL REPORTING
In accordance with the City Charter, the City will contract for an annual audit by a qualified independent certified public
accountant. The City will use generally accepted accounting principles in preparing its annual financial statements, and will
strive to meet the requirements of the Government Finance Officers Association’s Award for Excellence in Financial
Reporting program. The City shall issue the audited financial statements within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
end of the fiscal year, unless such time shall be extended by City Council.

COMMUNITY PROFILE FY 2026-2027
INTRODUCTION
The City of Seal Beach, located on the coast of northwestern Orange County California, was incorporated on October 27,
1915. The City charter, which was adopted in 1964, established the form of government, states the powers and duties of
the City Council, and establishes various City Offices.
The City is operated under the City Council/City
Manager form of government and is governed by a
five-member city council elected by district serving
four-year alternating terms and who, in turn, elect the
Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem from among themselves for
a one-year term. The governing council is responsible
for policymaking, passing local ordinances, adopting
the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the City
Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is
responsible for carrying out the policies and
ordinances of the City Council, overseeing the day-to-
day operations of the City, and appointing department
heads.
The City provides a full range of services for the citizens utilizing a mix of contracts with other governmental entities or
private companies. The City has its own Police Department and Marine Safety Department but contracts for fire and
paramedic services through the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA).The City also operates water and sewer utilities
and contracts for refuse and sanitation treatment services.
The City is the home to the Boeing Company Integrated Defense System international headquarters, the U.S. Naval
Weapons Station, the first Leisure World Retirement Community and the 1,000-acre Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge.
The City’s one and a half miles of beaches and the public pier attract more than 1,500,000 visitors each year making
recreation an important factor in the local economy. Seal Beach has a variety of local beach front stores at Main Street
which include several fine dining establishments. Throughout the year many exciting community events take place in
which the residents, and visitors, enjoy and participate.

HISTORY
Serving as the northern gateway to Orange County's 42 miles of coastline, Seal Beach is a quiet, down-to-earth community
that is the perfect seaside destination to call home, visit, or locate your business. Named for the seals that once frequented
its beachfront, the city is filled with quaint neighborhoods and hometown appeal.
Archaeological evidence (locally found near Heron Point, Hog Island in the National Wildlife Refuge, and other nearby
areas) indicates that the first humans in the area were nomadic Clovis hunters who passed through 130 centuries ago. The
first permanent settlers are believed to be the Millingstone people (who we now know as the Chumash) who arrived 10,000
to 12,000 years ago. They were displaced around 1,500 years ago by Uto-Aztecans (now called the Tongva or Gabrielino).
Many believe the Tongva’s town of Puvunga was by Bixby Hill near the banks of the present San Gabriel River. The
residents of these villages departed the area at the time of the arrival of the first Europeans in the 1769 Portola Expedition.
Seal Beach was part of the huge grant awarded to Portola
Expedition veteran Sergeant Manuel Nieto. This was later divided
into five ranchos by his children, and our area became part of the
Rancho Los Alamitos (the little cottonwoods). In 1844 the Alamitos
was acquired by Don Abel Stearns. It became the headquarters of
his huge cattle empire, but the terrible droughts of the early 1860s
forced Stearns into bankruptcy and he lost the Alamitos.
In 1881, John W. Bixby purchased the ranch with the financial help
of banker Isais W. Hellman and John’s older Bixby cousins who
owned the nearby Rancho Los Cerritos. JW Bixby made the ranch
a successful operation and laid out the town of Alamitos Beach, next
to the new town of Long Beach. Unfortunately, John W. Bixby died
soon after, and the ranch was again divided. Together the owners
would manage Alamitos Beach, but of the balance, the Cerritos
Bixbys kept the northern land next to their ranch, the JW Bixby heirs kept the central third and I.W. Hellman received the
southern third. A narrow coastal strip was also divided equally between the three parties.
Hellman’s section included the port of Anaheim Landing, started in the late 1860s by Germans of the Anaheim Colony as a
port for shipping the wine they were growing. The Landing rivaled the shipping volume at San Pedro until the railroad
arrived in Anaheim in 1875. However, the Landing’s beaches had by this time become popular as a getaway from hot
summer days.
When I.W. Hellman and Henry Huntington formed the Pacific Electric Railroad, one of their proposed routes ran from Long
Beach through Anaheim Landing to Newport Beach. Philip A. Stanton, Hellman’s real estate agent, organized a syndicate
to buy from the JW Bixby heirs the coastal parcel next to Anaheim Landing. Stanton then subdivided this into a town he
called Bay City in 1903. The first electric trains arrived here in May 1904. But unfortunately, Stanton’s new subdivision met
with few buyers, and in 1913, Bay City was optioned to real estate promoter Guy M. Rush who built a pier (second longest
wooden pier in California) with pavilions on either side. Rush also rebranded the town as Seal Beach and marketed it via
ads around the country. This too failed and by early 1915
Rush had let his options lapse.
Stanton then convinced some amusements and vendors
from the closing San Francisco Panama-Pacific
International Exposition to build a new amusement area
in Seal Beach, to be called The Joy Zone. Stanton also
arranged for an election so town residents could decide
what laws were passed in Seal Beach – in particular, one
allowing alcohol in town. On October 19, 1915,
incorporation was approved by a vote of 84-16. On
October 27, 1915 the State certified the vote and Seal
Beach officially became a City. The new City had an area
of 1.25 square miles with a population of 250.
33
COMMUNITY PROFILE FY 2026-2027
The Joy Zone opened in summer 1916 and achieved brief
popularity, but the US entry into World War I and wartime
restrictions, followed by the Spanish Flu and the 1919
passage of Prohibition damaged the Joy Zone’s ambitions.
Nonetheless, in 1921 many moved into the new East Seal
Beach subdivision on the south side of Anaheim Bay. And
in 1929, the Surfside Colony opened up just beyond that.
The years between the world wars were challenging for the
City. The two bays were used by rum runners to drop off
their hooch, and the town’s location at the county line made
it a desirable place for gambling ships since there was
always confusion over which county – and thus which
jurisdiction the ships were in.
The town prospered after the US Naval Weapons Station
was opened in 1944 to supply ammunition to the Pacific
Fleet. Over 300 beachside homes were removed, but the
housing shortage was eased somewhat as many residents set up shelter at the growing Seal Beach Trailer Park.
The 1950s saw the town rid itself of the gambling cabal as new subdivisions opened on The Hill in 1957. A few years later
the town doubled in size with the Hellman Ranch annexation and then doubled in population with the 1962 opening of
Leisure World, the world’s first fully self-contained senior housing community. This was simultaneous with the arrival of
North American Rockwell plant where workers constructed the second stage of the Saturn V rocket for NASA’s Apollo moon
shots. The company was later taken over by Boeing which continues to be one of the City’s major employers.
Soon after followed annexation of the Bixby Ranch Company’s unimproved land which eventually led to the subdivisions of
College Parks West and East, the “Target Homes”, the Old Ranch Country Club, the Old Ranch Towne Center (the Target
center) and the Bixby Office Park. Other significant additions were the annexation of the Rossmoor Shopping Center (now
the Shops at Rossmoor) infill subdivisions of Suburbia (now Bridgeport), the Oakwood Garden Apartments (now The Eaves)
and the Riverbeach subdivision, adjacent to the Trailer Park.
In the 1990s a proposed subdivision of 300 homes around a golf course behind The Hill was opposed by residents, but
compromise resulted in Gum Grove Park and a much smaller Heron Pointe development. The last addition to the city was
the Ocean Park
development on the former
DWP property at First and
Ocean.
These days, Seal Beach
has an area of
approximately 13 square
miles which includes over 1
square mile of water, and
the population is 24,421.
This history continues to
make Seal Beach a
destination for all
experiences.

PROPERTY TAXES FY 2026-2027
Property Taxes account for $17.0 million or 34% of Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund revenues which results in a $0.7
million increase compared to the Amended Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. It represents Seal Beach’s largest revenue source
for the General Fund. Property tax is imposed on real property (land and permanently attached improvements such as
buildings) and tangible personal property (moveable property) located in Seal Beach. Properties are distinguished as
secured and unsecured (property for which the value of the lien is not sufficient to assure payment of the tax). In 1978, the
California voters adopted Proposition 13 that changed the definition of taxable value for all real property in the state.
Proposition 13 defines the taxable value of real property as factored base year value or market value on lien date (January
1st), whichever is lower. The base year value of property acquired before March 1, 1975, is the 1975 assessed value and
the base year value of property acquired on or after March 1, 1975, is usually the market value when the property was
transferred and/or purchased. The factored base year value of properties that have not changed ownership since the prior
January 1st is calculated by adding the value of any new construction and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase but no
more than 2 percent per year. Property Tax assumptions are provided by the City’s consultant, HdL.
Included in Property Taxes, other than secured, are unsecured property taxes, supplemental assessments, homeowner’s
exemption, property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fees, and various other property taxes including those related to penalties
and interest.
Budget Assumptions – As the chart below illustrates, property taxes continue to be a stable revenue source for the City.
The projection for FY 2026-27 reflects an increase in expected property tax revenue. This is largely influenced by the City’s
assessed valuation, which rose by 4.3 percent in FY 2025, slightly below the County’s overall growth of 5.41 percent. While
the broader economy continues to face uncertainty, the local housing market has remained resilient. Despite high interest
rates and limited housing inventory, property values have stayed strong, supporting continued growth in property tax
revenue. Looking ahead, growth in assessed valuation is expected to moderate compared to previous years. This is
primarily due to persistent economic headwinds, such as elevated borrowing costs, reduced inventory turnover, and general
market stabilization following several years of rapid appreciation. The median price of a home in the City was $1,700,000
at budget development, indicating sustained demand, though the pace of growth may continue to soften through FY 2026-
27.

TRANSACTION AND USE TAX FY 2026-2027
Transaction and Use Tax is a voter-approved component with the Sales Tax collected (next page) on taxable purchases
made within the City. Revenue generated from this local tax remains in the community and provides a significant funding
source to support essential City services, infrastructure maintenance, and community programs.
Transaction and Use Tax revenue is projected at $9.1 million for Fiscal Year 2026-27, accounting for approximately 18% of
total General Fund revenues. This reflects a $277,000 decrease compared to the Amended FY 2025-26 Budget, primarily
driven by a pullback in discretionary spending. Measure GG, approved by Seal Beach voters in November 2024, updates
the original 1% Transactions and Use Tax (Measure BB), which was first passed in November 2018. With the passage of
Measure GG, the local tax rate increased to 1.5% on taxable transactions originating in the City. As the City’s second-
largest General Fund revenue source, the Transaction and Use Tax plays a critical role in maintaining essential City
services. Since its initial implementation, this funding has helped support public safety, infrastructure, and other core
community priorities.
Budget Assumptions – Estimated revenues for Transaction and Use Tax for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and projections for Fiscal
Year 2026-27 were based on information prepared by the City’s consultant Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates (HdL), a
consulting firm that specializes in sales and use tax analysis conducted using sales tax information provided to them by the
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). HdL has reduced their assumptions due to signs of slowing
consumer spending, inflationary pressures, and a more cautious economic outlook for the upcoming fiscal year. In the
current fiscal period, we are again placing reliance on the figures furnished by the consultant to inform our decision-making
process, underscoring our dedication to careful scrutiny and thorough analysis.

SALES AND USE TAX FY 2026-2027
Sales and Use Tax accounts for $4.8 million or 9.6% of Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund revenues which results in a
$86,000 decrease compared to the Amended Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. It represents Seal Beach’s third largest revenue
source for the General Fund. Sales and Use Tax estimates were lowered mid-year by HdL due to less spending in consumer
goods and services. In the current fiscal period, we are placing reliance on the figures furnished by the consultant to inform
our decision-making process, underscoring our dedication to careful scrutiny and thorough analysis. The sales tax rate is
7.75%. The City receives 1% of all sales and use tax collected. All goods sold within the City are subject to sales tax except
non-prepared food and prescription drugs. The sales tax rate at the City are broken down as follows:
State General Fund 3.94%
City of Seal Beach General Fund 1.00%
Countywide Transportation Tax 0.25%
County Mental Health 1.56%
Public Safety Augmentation Fund (Prop 172) 0.50%
County Transaction Tax (Measure M) 0.50%
Total Rate 7.75%
Budget Assumptions – Estimated revenues for Sales Tax for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and projections for Fiscal Year 2026-
27 were based on information prepared by the City’s sales tax consultant Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates, a firm that
specializes in sales and use tax analysis conducted using sales tax information provided to them by the California
Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Sales tax revenue in FY 2026-27 is projected to remain relatively flat,
showing a slight decline of $86,000 as consumers continue to exhibit cautious spending behavior amid ongoing economic
uncertainty and political instability, which is impacting overall market confidence. While e-commerce remains a strong retail
channel, its growth has leveled off, limiting gains in local sales tax collections. Current assumptions also reflect growing
concerns about pressure in the Middle East and the economic impact of increases in inflation. As the City looks
conservatively ahead, if future negative pressures arise, it will be brought forth to Council.

UTILITY USERS TAX FY 2026-2027
Utility Users Tax (UUT) accounts for $5.4 million or 10.9% of Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund revenues which results in
a $10,000 decrease compared to the Amended Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. It represents Seal Beach’s fourth largest
revenue source for the General Fund. The Utility Users Tax rate is charged to customers of electric, natural gas, and
telecommunications companies to raise revenue for general governmental purposes of the City. The Utility Users Tax rate,
which was lowered by the voters in 2014, is currently 10% of the customer’s applicable monthly charges. Beginning in
January 2016 retailers that sell pre-paid wireless plans were required to collect the UUT at the point of sale. The rate for
pre-paid wireless is capped at 9%. The utility companies collect the taxes and remit them to the City.
Budget Assumptions – The chart below illustrates the Utility Users Tax revenues continue to be a relatively stable and
predictable revenue source. The City has a senior citizen exemption program for the Utility Users Tax. For the current fiscal
year, the revenue is expected to remain relatively flat. The decrease is due to anticipated rebates offset by rate increases
from the utility companies and consistent user demand.

LICENSES AND PERMITS FY 2026-2027
Licenses and Permits account for $1,106,300 or 2.2% of Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund revenues which results in an
increase of $245,300 compared to Amended Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. Licenses and permits are issued for either
regulatory or cost recover purposes, to applicants who conduct business activities within the City. Majority categories are
building permits, electrical permits, and parking permits. The budgeted increases are due to higher performance in building,
electrical, and plumbing permits.
Budget Assumptions – The chart below illustrates the Licenses and Permits for the past ten years. Licenses and Permits
are expected to stay relatively flat due to the continued economic uncertainty and rising labor and material costs.

OTHER REVENUES FY 2026-2027
FRANCHISE FEES
Franchise fees are imposed on various public utilities and account for $1.2 million or 2.3% of Fiscal Year 2026-27 General
Fund revenues which result in a slight decrease of $8,000 compared to the Amended Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget due to a
slight drop in franchise natural gas fees. The franchise grants the public utilities the right to use public property for system
infrastructure such as lines and pipes. It also grants exclusive rights to provide cable television within the City.
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) (Hotel Tax) accounts for $2.0 million or 4.0% of Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund
revenues which result in an increase of $108,000 compared to Amended Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. The approved rate
for Transient Occupancy Tax is 12%. Severe declines beginning in Fiscal Year 2019-20 were due to the economic impacts
of COVID-19 which continued to impact the hospitality industry into 2022. Hotel tax has increased beyond pre-pandemic
levels due to the City’s desirable location attracting a greater number of visitors, including both business and leisure
travelers. TOT remains relatively consistent as the City’s three hotels are at capacity.
CHARGES FOR SERVICES
Charges for Services account for $3.9 million or 7.8% of Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund revenues which results in an
increase of $501,137 compared to the Amended Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. This is due to increases in plan check fees,
tennis center revenue, and refuse. Charges for services are used to recover costs of programs for specific end users.
Programs provided through Community Services are typically subsidized by the General Fund to encourage participation.

SPECIAL REVENUES FY 2026-2027
STATE GAS TAX
The State of California collects $0.60 per gallon as of 2026, for vehicle fuel which is allocated to the State, Counties and
Cities. The City allocation is distributed primarily based on population. The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRA) to address deferred maintenance on highways,
local streets, and roadway systems. This program continues to be funded by per-gallon motor fuel excise taxes, which are
adjusted annually for inflation.
TIDELANDS BEACH FUND – TRANSFER IN – GENERAL FUND SUBSIDY
The Tidelands Beach Fund is required by the State of California and is used to account for all revenues derived from beach
and pier operations in the City. Typically, the revenues generated at the beach and pier, such as beach parking revenues,
and property rental do not fully cover the cost of operations. As a result, the Tidelands Beach Fund is generally subsidized
by the General Fund as illustrated in the following graph.

SPECIAL REVENUES FY 2026-2027
MEASURE M2
The Measure M “Local Turnback” revenues are part of the ½ cent sales tax increase approved by voters November 6, 1990,
which would provide transportation funding through 2011. In November 2006, voters approved the continuation of the ½
cent sales tax through 2041. These funds can only be expended on street and highway improvements. The allocation of
the ½ cent sales tax is based on the City’s population and on the City’s “Maintenance of Effort” and/or the minimum amount
of General Fund funds expended on street and sidewalk maintenance. Each year the City must file a “Maintenance of Effort”
report with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). The report itemizes the estimated expenses the City will
spend with General Fund dollars on streets, storm drains and sidewalk repairs that include supplies, and salaries and
benefits, and compares that figure with the County’s benchmark figure of minimum expenditures for street maintenance.
The City anticipates receipt of $605,490 from Measure M2 – Local Fairshare revenues for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
WATER REVENUES
The City’s Water Rate Schedule is tiered and based on customer classification, water consumption and meter size.
Revenues for the Water Operations Fund are projected to be $20.9 million for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The Water revenues
projections incorporate only current anticipated bond or loan proceeds associated with the adopted Water and Sewer Rate
Study, providing a financing framework to support critical infrastructure improvements identified in the plan. Consistent with
conservative budgeting practices, projected revenues do not assume future debt issuances identified in the Water and
Wastewater Financial Plan and Rate Study.
SEWER REVENUES
The Sewer Rates are a function of customer classification and volumetric use. Projected Revenues for the Sewer
Operations Fund are projected to be $4.4 million for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The Sewer Fund does not currently include
anticipated bond or loan proceeds. While financing is expected as part of the planned improvements, the specific timing,
structure, and amounts are still being finalized. A detailed financing plan will be brought forward to the City Council for
review and approval at a future date.

PUBLIC WORKS FY 2026-2027
MANAGING DEPARTMENT HEAD: Director of Public Works
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide innovative and sustainable City improvements and services through strategic planning, programming, budgeting,
constructing, and maintaining of the City’s infrastructure in a cost-effective way that meets the overall needs of the
community.
PRIMARY ACTIVITIES
Engineering – 0042
The Engineering Division oversees the overall administration and engineering functions of the department, including
contract management, grant management, finance and budgeting, development services, Capital Improvement Program
(CIP), environmental, traffic/transportation, construction management/inspection, tidelands management, intra-/interagency
coordination and compliance, ADA compliance, and provides general coordination with the other Public Works divisions.
The Engineering Division also manages the operations and maintenance of the City’s 23 traffic signals and traffic
management center.
The Division coordinates with and/or maintains compliance with regulations from outside agencies, including National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, Regional/State Water Quality Control Board, California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Orange County Flood Control District, Orange County Public Works Department,
California Department of Health, Air Quality Management District, California Coastal Commission, Southern California
Edison, Southern California Gas, Spectrum, Frontier, Naval Weapons Station, California Coastal Conservancy, California
Fish and Game, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Orange County Transportation Authority, Occupational Safety
and Health Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Orange County Water District, Municipal Water District of
Orange County, West Orange County Water Board, Orange County Sanitation District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, State
Lands Commission, and neighboring cities.
Storm Drains – 0043
The Utilities Division is responsible for the maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure which includes over 230 catch
basins, several thousand linear feet of storm drains, and the West End Pump Station. Routine maintenance activities to
ensure proper conveyance include: inspecting, cleaning, maintaining, and tracking catch basins, catch basin filters, catch
basin screens, storm drains, culverts, and other stormwater conveyances, and maintaining and operating a stormwater
pump station. Long-range improvement needs are identified and prioritized in the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan.
The Division ensures compliance with federal, state, and local water quality regulations through implementation of the City's
NPDES Local Implementation Plan and the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan. Responsibilities include compiling annual
program effectiveness reports, conducting plan checks and site inspections related to storm drain infrastructure,
implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs), participating in mandated stormwater meetings, issuing Notices of
Violation when necessary, and leading public education efforts to promote water quality protection.
Street Maintenance – 0044
The Operations & Maintenance Division is responsible for street maintenance and repair of approximately 41.3 centerline
miles of roadway throughout the City. These maintenance efforts include pavement repairs, street signage, striping, and
other pavement markings, pressure washing, and street sweeping. In addition, the Operations & Maintenance Division is
also responsible for the maintenance of 24.2 miles of City sidewalks and pavers.
Landscape Maintenance – 0049
The Operations & Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining all parks and landscaping throughout the City. These
activities include tree trimming and planting, lawn care, irrigation system repair, maintenance of landscaped public right-of-
way and medians, playground equipment inspection and repair, pesticide application, weed abatement, trash removal in
189
PUBLIC WORKS FY 2026-2027
parks and tract entries, and the upkeep of support facilities. In addition, the Division is responsible for maintaining the City’s
open space and recreational amenities including walking paths, benches, drinking fountains, picnic tables, pavilions, tot
lots, playgrounds, dog parks, basketball courts, tennis courts, and pickleball courts.
Auto Maintenance – 0050
The Operations & Maintenance Division is responsible for the repair, maintenance, procurement, and asset management
of the City’s vehicles and motorized equipment. The Division maintains a fleet of more than 100 City vehicles, including
heavy- and light-duty trucks, police interceptors, motorcycles, tractors, backhoes, watercraft, and specialized equipment. A
comprehensive preventive maintenance program is utilized to minimize vehicle downtime, enhance vehicle performance,
and control overall fleet maintenance costs.
Building Maintenance – 0052
The Operations & Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the City’s buildings and facilities
through routine and preventative maintenance, as well as through larger-scale capital improvement projects. Maintenance
activities include general internal and external upkeep, such as janitorial services, elevator and HVAC servicing, pest control,
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing repairs, and landscape maintenance at City facilities.
Improvements that cannot be achieved through regular maintenance are programmed through the CIP, where strategic
planning, funding, design, and construction are coordinated. These projects include major roof repairs, ADA upgrades, and
building rehabilitations.
SB1 Program – 0090
Senate Bill 1 (SB-1) created the Roadway Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). The City receives annual
apportionments under this program for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local street
and roadway system. The City must maintain a minimum Maintenance of Effort (MOE) to qualify for this funding.
Gas Tax – 0090
The State of California imposes per-gallon excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel,
and registration taxes on motor vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes. The City’s portion of these
fund allocations flow through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and the fund’s uses must be transportation-related
and conform to Streets and Highways Code Section 2101.
Measure M2 – 0099
OC Go (also more commonly known as Measure M2) is a 30-year half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements in
Orange County through 2041. OC Go is administered through the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), where
a portion of the funds is provided to the agencies through the Local Fair Share Program (Project Q) to pay for the escalating
cost of restoring the aging street system. These funds can also be used to fund other local transportation needs such as
street rehabilitation, traffic and pedestrian safety, and traffic signal improvements. The City must maintain a minimum
Maintenance of Effort (MOE) and meet annual eligibility requirements to qualify for this funding.
Special Projects – 0242
Special projects for the Engineering program.
Special Projects – 0244
Special projects for the Street Maintenance program.
Street Lighting – 0500
The Seal Beach Street Lighting Assessment District was formed under the Street Lighting Act of 1919 to finance the
maintenance of streetlights and to finance the electricity used by the streetlights. Revenue is derived from the District’s
share of the basic property tax levy and the special district augmentation allocations.
190
PUBLIC WORKS FY 2026-2027
Beach Maintenance – 0863
The Operations & Maintenance Division is responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the City’s beaches, pier,
and adjacent facilities. Maintenance activities for the 1.5 miles of beachfront include routine debris and litter removal, sand
management, maintenance of the tot lot and beach parking lots, beach trash removal, graffiti abatement, annual construction
and removal of the seasonal berm, and post-storm cleanup operations. In addition, the City reimburses the Surfside Colony
for its proportionate share of beach maintenance costs.
Seal Beach is home to the second-largest wooden pier along the California coastline. Regular inspection and ongoing
maintenance are essential to ensure the pier’s structural safety and operational integrity.
As both assets fall within the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission, FEMA flood zones, State Lands, and multiple
other regulatory agencies, ongoing coordination, monitoring, and interagency collaboration are essential to ensure full
regulatory compliance.
Water Maintenance and Operations – 0900
The Utilities Division is responsible for maintaining the City’s potable water system and ensuring the safe, reliable delivery
of water to residential and commercial customers. The City’s water system consists of over 74 miles of pipeline, two booster
stations, three active water production wells, and two reservoirs. Water supply is generally provided through a combination
of imported water from the Municipal Water District of Orange County and pumping groundwater from the Orange County
Groundwater Basin. Maintaining a safe and dependable water supply requires not only routine maintenance and ongoing
system upgrades, but also strict compliance with federal, state, and local water quality regulations and fire protection codes.
Primary maintenance and operational activities include monitoring the SCADA system for wells and pump stations, water
production operations, pipe installation and maintenance, booster station and well maintenance, water quality sampling and
testing, hydrant flushing, valve exercising, meter replacement and reading, leak repairs and mainline break response,
customer service support, water meter management, cross-connection control programs, fire flow tests, instrumentation
and controls, and public outreach. In response to Southern California’s semi-arid climate, population growth, and reliance
on imported water, Seal Beach, like other regional water agencies, continues to expand efforts to reduce water loss and
promote long-term water conservation.
CIP projects include infrastructure investments in pipelines, storage facilities, disinfection systems, wells, and booster station

MARINE SAFETY DEPARTMENT FY 2026-2027
MANAGING DEPARTMENT HEAD: Chief of Marine Safety
MISSION STATEMENT
The Marine Safety Department provides the highest quality safety services in the coastal and aquatic environment for the
public through prevention, education, rescue, medical aid, outreach, beach management, and enforcement.
PRIMARY ACTIVITIES
Safety Services
The Marine Safety staff provides public safety through many different functions. Ocean Lifeguards provide the frontline
defense of the protection of life, limb, and property to the ocean going residents and visitors. Marine Safety full time staff
members provide training, certification, education, and daily oversight of lifeguard operations. In addition, full time staff
members are highly skilled in aquatic rescue, boat operation, rescue watercraft operation, CPR/AED instructors, and
incident command. Marine Safety staff respond to major medical aids, ocean rescues, enforcement of municipal codes,
and the prevention of aquatic accidents through education.
Lifeguards – 0828
The Beach Lifeguard's primary activities involve safety of the beach going public. Ocean Lifeguards protect an assigned
area of beach from a station, or in some instances, patrol a section of beach in a mobile unit, warn of hazardous conditions,
rescue people in distress or in danger of drowning, answer questions and give information pertaining to the beach and
ocean environment, apply first aid to those in need, remove hazardous obstacles from sand and water, take charge of lost
children, advise the public regarding local beach and ocean related ordinances, regulations, safety and conduct, perform
other related work as required and maintain a professional and courteous relationship with the public.

the pool to provide maximum pool surveillance, warn pool users of dangerous activities, rescue people in distress or in
danger of drowning, and provide first aid to those in need. Pool lifeguards check swimmers in for adult lap swim and act as
swim lesson instructors. Swim lessons participants range in age from infants to high school with all levels of abilities. Swim
lessons, management and lifeguarding of recreation swim, adult lap swim, and instruction of the after school swim classes
are all responsibilities of the pool lifeguard.
Junior Lifeguards
The Marine Safety Department administers a Junior Lifeguard Program serving children ages 9-17. Junior Lifeguards are

This program begins at the end of June and ends in mid-August.

MARINE SAFETY DEPARTMENT FY 2026-2027
Lifeguard Training Academy
All new and recurrent lifeguards receive training from Seal Beach Marine Safety staff. The basic lifeguard training academy
consists of 120 hours of rescue and medical training. The staff is trained to a level that is certified as a “Advanced Agency”
from the United States Lifesaving Association.
City-wide AED Program
Seal Beach Marine Safety manages the City of Seal Beach AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Program. The program
consists of AED’s located in police and lifeguard emergency vehicles as well as in municipal buildings located throughout
the city. Marine Safety staff maintains the contract for medical oversight, trains city staff annually in CPR/AED use, and
services the AED inventory. The city owns and maintains the 26 AED citywide program.
Water Safety Education
The Marine Safety Department works with the community to spread the message of beach safety and drowning prevention
awareness. Lifeguards provide CPR, AED, and first aid training to the community and city staff. We are active in drowning
prevention, beach safety, and rip current awareness. Throughout the year lifeguards participate in local school and
community programs teaching beach hazard mitigation and awareness.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2026-2027
MANAGING DEPARTMENT HEAD: Director of Public Works
PRIMARY ACTIVITIES
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) encompasses construction projects, renovations, replacements, and equipment
purchases (excluding vehicles) that generally increase asset value. It also includes activities that are either planned or occur
on an irregular or one-time basis. Minor capital outlays and recurring maintenance activities are typically included in the
operation and maintenance budget.
The CIP is a comprehensive plan that outlines the capital projects to be funded over a five-year horizon. Updated annually,
the first year of the plan represents the current year’s capital budget. Serving as a planning tool, the CIP helps City Council
systematically schedule and finance capital projects, ensuring cost-effectiveness and alignment with established policies. It
is organized into the same functional groups as the operating programs. The CIP strikes a balance between projects focused
on capital replacement—repairing, replacing, or enhancing existing assets—and those aimed at expanding or adding
significant new fixed assets to the City’s infrastructure.
CIP BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Improvements within the Capital Improvement Plan are generated or identified as follows:
1. Advanced planning: Most improvements are outlined in a planning document or master plan, many of which are
required by funding agencies. All master plans are adopted by the City Council. Currently, the City has the following
master plans in place:
• 2008 Master Plan of Drainage
• 2012 Water Master Plan
• 2011 Street Tree Master Plan
• 2011 Facility Master Plan
• 2013 Park and Community Services Master Plan
• 2018 Sewer Master Plan
• 2019 Pier Cap Inspection
• 2020 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan
• Local Signal Synchronization Plan
• 2022 Local Roadway Safety Plan
• 2024 Pavement Management Plan
• 2024 Safety Action Plan
• 2024 Fleet Modernization Analysis
• ADA Transition Plan
2. Reaction to need or opportunity: Projects may start due to a specific need or opportunity, like the emergency
response to the Marina Community Center roof leak. These situations can reveal urgent problems that need quick
action or create unexpected chances for improvement. In such cases, projects are developed quickly to solve
immediate issues and prevent future risks. They can arise from unexpected events, changing conditions, or long-
term needs.
255
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2026-2027
3. Desire from the community: Projects often arise from the needs expressed by the community, where residents,
businesses, or organizations highlight areas for improvement to enhance the quality of life. These initiatives are
typically based on feedback gathered from meetings, surveys, or other forms of community input. For example, as
part of the budget preparation last fiscal year, public strategic planning sessions were held to allow the community
to share their thoughts and suggestions. Ultimately, these projects are designed to address local concerns and
meet the specific needs of the community.
PHASES OF A CIP PROJECT
The CIP will emphasize projects typically progressing through the following phases:
1. Entitlement. In certain instances, projects may undergo an entitlement process to ensure conformity to the overall
General Plan and/or specific plan.
2. Permitting and Environmental Analysis. Environmental Analysis is performed on every CIP project to comply with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and in some cases with the National Environmental Quality Act
(NEPA). Permitting is required from a variety of agencies and is assessed for every project. Permits may be
necessary from agencies such as the California Coastal Commission, Caltrans, Department of Fish and Wildlife,
Army Corps of Engineers, State Lands Commission, County of Orange, etc.
3. Design. The Public Works Department generally retain the services of professional consultants to perform the
design work, where City staff would provide project oversight. Construction documents including plans and
specifications are prepared and publicly bid per applicable codes and regulations.
4. Construction. Improvements will be constructed in a manner that minimize impacts to the residents. The City
employs a construction manager and/or inspector (with specialty testing) to ensure that all construction projects are
carried out safely and constructed to meet the construction documents.
5. On-Going Maintenance Activities. All completed CIP projects are incorporated into the maintenance activities of the
city. The maintenance staff will incorporate new facilities into routine inspections and ongoing maintenance
programs. Staff will include new improvements into future maintenance budgets.
6. Equipment Acquisitions. Equipment acquisitions, including vehicles, heavy machinery, computers, office
furnishings, and other items, are part of the Capital Improvement Program. These items are acquired and installed
separately from construction contracts.
CATEGORIES OF CIP
The City’s CIP is categorized into the following seven major areas:
Beach and Pier. The City’s Beach and Pier are landmark tourist attractions that draw approximately two million visitors
per year. The Pier is made up of a wooden deck with lighting, and utility infrastructure. The beach includes three parking
lots, approximately two miles of dry sand beach, two sets of public restrooms, two parks, and landscaping.
Building and Facilities. The City’s buildings and facilities serve employees, visitors, tenants, and business owners across
22 structures, including City Hall, the Police Station, two Fire Stations, a Tennis & Pickleball Center, City maintenance
yard facilities, and various recreation and community centers. A Facility Master Plan was adopted in FY 2011-2012,
and many projects within this CIP were identified in that plan. Additional projects are listed as unfunded needs.
Parks. The City’s park infrastructure includes landscaping and the Urban Forest, with 70 park and landscape sites
spread across Seal Beach. The City’s forestry program maintains and nourishes over 150 species of trees and plants.
Sewer. The City provides sewer collection services for residents and businesses in Seal Beach, transporting raw
sewage to the Orange County Sanitation District for treatment. The City’s Sewer System includes over 160,000 feet of
pipe, 700 manholes, and 6 pump stations.
Storm Drain. The City’s Storm Drain System collects surface runoff in 11 drainage areas throughout the City with one
City-owned Storm Drain pump station.
256
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2026-2027
Streets and Transportation. The City’s Streets and Transportation System oversees more than 101 lane miles of traffic
flow. Staff is responsible for maintaining landscaped medians, traffic signals, and handling utility work within the streets.
Water. The City's water system supplies potable water to residents, businesses, including the Naval Weapons Station,
Sunset Aquatic Park. Its infrastructure consists of two booster stations, two reservoirs, four water wells, and various
components such as telemetry, valves, fire hydrants, blowoffs, air reliefs, water meters, and a SCADA system.

Lifeguard Headquarters/PD Substation
FY 2026-27 - FY 2030-31
DESCRIPTION/STATUS
A facility needs assessment completed in 2020 determined that the existing Lifeguard Headquarters/PD Substation has reached the end
of its useful life. During the 2025 Strategic Planning Meeting, the demolition and reconstruction of the facility was identified as a City
priority, and the City has elected to proceed with the design and permitting phase of the project.
Due to the specialized nature of vertical coastal construction, the City anticipates utilizing professional consulting services to support
planning, design, environmental coordination, permitting, and related technical services associated with the project.
A preliminary rough order of magnitude (ROM) project cost of approximately $15 million has been identified; however, the estimate will
continue to be refined as the project scope is further developed and market conditions are evaluated.

Citywide Non-Functional Turf Removal
FY 2026-27 - FY 2030-31
DESCRIPTION/STATUS
The project will replace existing non-functional turf at several highly visible community locations, including the Seal Beach Tennis and
Pickleball Center, the First Street and Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) entry sign area, and the Marina Drive and Central Avenue entry sign
location. These landscaped areas are considered non-functional turf, as they primarily serve decorative purposes and are not utilized for
recreation or other active uses.
The project is being undertaken in anticipation of compliance with Assembly Bill 1572 (AB 1572), which will prohibit the use of potable
water for irrigation of non-functional turf on public properties. Improvements are anticipated to include removal of existing ornamental turf,
installation of drought-tolerant and water-efficient landscaping, and modifications to the irrigation systems to support long-term water
conservation objectives while maintaining the visual character and appearance of key community entry points.
Through the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC), the City has received rebate funding to support turf removal,
landscape conversion, and irrigation improvements. Solicitation for landscape design and construction services is anticipated to begin in
FY 2026/27.

Arterial Street Resurfacing Program
FY 2026-27 - FY 2030-31
DESCRIPTION/STATUS
This ongoing Arterial Street Rehabilitation Program is intended to maintain and improve the condition of the City’s major roadway
corridors through implementation of the City’s adopted Pavement Management Plan. Arterial streets serve as critical components of the
transportation network and experience higher traffic volumes, heavier vehicle loading, and accelerated pavement deterioration over time
due to traffic, weather, and aging conditions.
The Pavement Management Plan evaluates roadway conditions and prioritizes rehabilitation needs based on pavement condition, traffic
impacts, and long-term maintenance considerations. The program supports resurfacing and rehabilitation of arterial streets in order to
improve roadway quality, enhance safety, extend pavement service life, and reduce future repair and reconstruction costs.
Funding is currently allocated through restricted roadway-related funding sources; therefore, eligible improvements must be associated
with roadway, transportation, and mobility-related enhancements. On occasion, grant funding opportunities may also be paired with
arterial resurfacing projects to help supplement roadway formula funding sources.
While this is an ongoing capital and maintenance program, design services are generally completed through consulting services due to
the complexity of larger arterial roadway projects, including associated surveying, traffic coordination, and geotechnical evaluation
needs. Construction activities are anticipated to be completed through contract services, with overall program administration provided by
the City.

The City continues to experience ongoing trash and debris impacts along its public beach and shoreline, including materials conveyed
through the San Gabriel River outlet. These regional impacts contribute to significant amounts of trash entering local waterways and
coastal areas each year, affecting beach conditions, environmental quality, and sensitive ecosystems.
To address these issues, the City, through funding from the County of Orange, completed a feasibility study evaluating opportunities and
potential locations for implementation of trash mitigation measures, including enhanced waste capture and filtration systems. As the first
phase of implementation, the City has partnered with The Ocean Cleanup, Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the Long Beach to
advance installation of a trash interceptor within the San Gabriel River. Design and capital costs associated with the interceptor are
anticipated to be funded through contributions from The Ocean Cleanup and private donors, while the City will assist with permitting,
interagency coordination, and project facilitation.
Through Congressmember Dave Min, approximately $1 million in Congressional Directed Spending funds were allocated toward
advancement of additional trash mitigation efforts identified in the feasibility study. Project implementation under this fund is contingent
upon authorization and release of funding through the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The project also includes
a required City General Fund matching contribution.

Lampson Bike Trail Gap Closure Project
FY 2026-27 - FY 2030-31
DESCRIPTION/STATUS
Grant +
Various City
Funds
The Lampson Avenue Bike Lane Gap Closure Project installed Class II bicycle lanes along both sides of Lampson Avenue between
Seal Beach Boulevard and Basswood Street, eliminating a previously missing segment within the City’s bicycle network. Prior to the
project, existing Class II bike lanes extended east of Basswood Street toward Valley View Street, creating a gap between those facilities
and the bike lanes along Seal Beach Boulevard.
The project improved bicycle connectivity, enhanced multimodal transportation access, and supported safer travel for bicyclists along
this regional corridor. The project is currently in the closeout phase.
The project was funded through a federal grant program with matching contributions from restricted roadway funds, I-405 settlement
funds, and the City’s General Fund.
Design services were completed through consulting services, and construction activities were publicly bid and completed through
contract forces. Due to the complexity of the federal funding requirements, additional construction management, contract inspection
services, and grant support services were retained to support environmental compliance, regulatory coordination, reporting, and auditing
requirements associated with the grant program.

Annual Slurry Seal Program
FY 2026-27 - FY 2030-31
DESCRIPTION/STATUS
This ongoing Slurry Seal Program is intended to preserve and extend the service life of the City’s roadway network through application
of slurry seal treatments on eligible streets. Slurry sealing is a cost-effective pavement preservation method that helps protect roadway
surfaces from weathering, oxidation, water intrusion, and further pavement deterioration, while improving overall roadway condition and
safety.
Street segments selected for treatment are prioritized using the City’s adopted Pavement Management Plan (PMP), which evaluates
pavement condition, traffic patterns, and maintenance needs to identify the most effective and efficient preservation strategies. By
applying preventative maintenance treatments at the appropriate time, the program helps reduce long-term rehabilitation costs and
delays the need for more extensive roadway reconstruction.
Funding is currently allocated through restricted roadway-related funding sources; therefore, eligible improvements must be associated
with roadway, transportation, and mobility-related enhancements.
The ongoing capital and maintenance program and preparation activities are generally performed by in-house staff, while construction
activities are anticipated to be completed through contract services, with overall program administration provided by the City.

transmission main between the Lampson Well and Basswood Street was previously upgraded to a 16-inch pipeline during well
construction, the pipeline west of that location reduces to a 12-inch line, creating hydraulic restrictions and head loss within the system.
The proposed improvements are intended to increase transmission capacity and improve the ability to deliver water throughout the City
to meet operational and emergency demands.
Design services are anticipated to be completed through consulting services. Project scope and cost estimates will continue to be refined
as evaluations and design progress and will be adjusted based on market conditions at the time of construction. Construction activities
are anticipated to be completed through contract forces, with overall project management and administration provided by the City and
supported by construction management consulting services.

Lampson Well Head Treatment
FY 2026-27 - FY 2030-31
DESCRIPTION
This project is intended to construct a treatment system at the Lampson Water Well to eliminate nuisance odor conditions associated with
groundwater pumping. While the odor does not present a health risk, it can negatively impact public perception of water quality. The
proposed treatment improvements are intended to permanently address the odor issue, improve operational efficiency, and support
reliable long-term use of the well.
The project is considered critical to restoring the well to full operational capacity, allowing other production wells within the City’s water
system to be temporarily taken offline for planned rehabilitation and maintenance activities.
The project has been awarded by the City Council. Design activities were funded through Water Enterprise Fund rate revenues, while
construction is anticipated to be funded through a loan from the Orange County Water District (OCWD).
Construction activities will be completed through contract forces, with overall project management and administration provided by the City
and supported by construction management consulting services.

Grants
This project is intended to replace aging water meters that have exceeded their serviceable lifespan and implement an Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system to improve operational efficiency, customer service, and water use monitoring capabilities. Some
existing meters may no longer accurately record water usage, which can result in unaccounted water consumption and reduced revenue
recovery.
The proposed AMI system would provide a two-way communication network capable of collecting and transmitting real-time water usage
data. The system is anticipated to reduce the need for manual meter reading activities, improve operational efficiency, support ongoing
water conservation and efficiency objectives, and better position the City to respond to evolving State regulatory requirements.
The AMI system is also intended to enhance customer access to water usage information by providing on-demand usage data, leak
detection notifications, historical consumption trends, and related account information.
Project costs and implementation strategies will continue to be refined as technology evolves and the City evaluates available AMI
platforms and deployment approaches. The City is currently pursuing grant funding opportunities to help offset implementation costs
associated with the Water Enterprise Fund.

Some of the City’s water and sewer pipelines are more than 100 years old and are primarily located within the older areas of town. Many
of these pipelines are undersized, deteriorated, offset, impacted by root intrusion, or constructed of aging asbestos cement pipe (ACP).
The systems were designed for historic service demands and no longer fully meet current operational, capacity, and design standards,
resulting in recurring water main breaks, sewer blockages, and increased risk of sanitary sewer overflows.
The project is planned with a preliminary planning-level cost estimate of approximately $4.3 million. Due to site constraints including
narrow alleys, high groundwater conditions, utility conflicts, and concrete alley restoration requirements, project scope and costs will
continue to be refined as evaluations and design progress.
The project is anticipated to be funded through the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds, supported by future debt financing identified in
the adopted Water and Sewer Rate Study.
The City anticipates retaining consulting services to prepare design and construction documents. Construction activities are anticipated

STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2026-2031
INTRODUCTION
The City of Seal Beach prepares a five-year forecast of General Fund revenues and expenditures on an annual basis
to evaluate the City’s fiscal condition and to guide policy and programmatic decisions. The development of the five-
year forecast as part of the budget development process has been identified as a best practice by the Government
Finance Officers Associations (GFOA). GFOA recognizes a financial forecast as a “fiscal management tool that
presents estimated information based on past, current, and projected financial conditions. This will help identify future
revenue and expenditure trends that may have an immediate or long-term influence on government policies, strategic
goals, and community services.”
The forecast establishes the foundation and framework for guiding policy and financial management decisions. This
long-term perspective integrates strategic planning and budgeting to forecast and actively communicate challenges
and opportunities before they arise. The five-year forecast focuses primarily on future revenues and expenditures of
the City’s General Fund and analyzes future expenditure trends with particular emphasis on negotiated labor
contracts, pension and retiree medical, unfunded liability costs, capital improvement needs and the current priorities
of the City Council. The City utilizes the information in the five-year forecast as part of its annual budget development
and updates the projections each year.
It is important to note that the forecast projects five years into the future based on the FY 2026-27 budget and existing
budgetary relationships, while the budget is based on an itemized analysis of supply, contract, and staffing needs
required to meet established service standards and City Council priorities. As a result, the forecast provides a big
picture, long-term outlook, while the budget is a detailed, short-term plan.
KEY OPERATIONAL FOCUS AREAS
The City has been working diligently to achieve more with fewer resources, while contending with the ongoing
challenges posed by shifts in legislation and regulations, including unfunded mandates, housing requirements, and
regulatory compliance and have placed considerable strain on the City's General Fund. While planning for the budget
each year, key guiding metrics are put in place. Departments are tasked with finding ways to balance the City’s
obligations to maintain fiscal sustainability while continuing to provide high-quality essential services and addressing
long-term fiscal impacts. Key areas of focus included:
•Maintaining public safety and emergency response
•Funding Fire response
•Community engagement
•Recreation
•Transportation
•Maintaining public infrastructure and facilities
•Maintaining Seal Beach’s desirable neighborhoods and beaches
•Maintaining high quality essential City services
•Maximizing flexibility in staffing levels
•Maintaining the City’s Policy Reserve at 25 percent
•Reducing the City’s Unfunded Pension Liability
•Seeking opportunities for cost recovery and efficiencies
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES/GOALS
An important component of the City of Seal Beach’s long-term planning efforts is the identification of strategic goals
and priorities, both programmatic and infrastructure-related, that guide the City’s Five-Year Strategic Business Plan
(SBP) and overall financial outlook. These Goals are developed with transparency and responsiveness at their core,
reflecting the evolving needs of the community and shaped by the leadership of the City Council. The City is committed
to serving its residents with integrity, accountability, and excellence, ensuring that resources are aligned with the
programs and services that matter most to the community.
325
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2026-2031
A Framework for the Future
At the core of the City of Seal Beach’s long-term planning is a commitment to aligning community priorities with
responsible financial stewardship. The City’s Strategic Business Plan (SBP) and Five-Year General Fund Outlook
serve as the foundation for this work ensuring that policy decisions, infrastructure investments, and service delivery
are guided by clear goals and sustainable funding strategies. These efforts are rooted in transparency, accountability,
and responsiveness. As community needs evolve, so too must the City’s approach to balancing immediate demands
with the long-term vision.
Establishing the City’s Strategic Direction
On November 8, 2025, the City Council convened a Strategic Planning Session to define a focused set of priorities
for the coming years. Through a collaborative and publicly engaged process, the Council established eight SMART
goals designed to be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. These goals reflect a unified
direction for the City and provide a roadmap for both operational and capital initiatives.
The Eight Strategic Goals
The City’s priorities span economic development, infrastructure, public safety, and community engagement. Each
goal represents both a policy direction and an operational commitment.
1. Billboards
Advance policy direction and implementation strategies for billboards, including evaluation of revenue potential to
support City initiatives.
2. Lifeguard Headquarters / Police Substation
Develop a comprehensive roadmap for constructing a new facility that enhances public safety services.
This includes:
• Site feasibility analysis
• Design alternatives
• Public outreach
• Identification of funding strategies, including bonding, new revenue sources, and grants
3. Main Street Beautification
Deliver near-term improvements that enhance the appearance and functionality of the Main Street area using existing
resources.
4. Paid Parking Report
Evaluate options for paid parking feasibility to improve management and generate sustainable revenue.
5. Business First Working Group
Strengthen partnerships with the business community and evaluate updates to the Main Street Specific Plan.
326
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2026-2031
6. Special Events Expansion
Explore opportunities to expand community events and maximize use of City spaces through partnerships.
7. Olympics Working Group (2028)
Position the City to benefit from regional opportunities associated with the 2028 Olympic Games.
8. Strategic Plan Communication
Enhance transparency through regular updates and clear communication with the public and City Council.
From Strategy to Implementation
These strategic goals are not standalone initiatives; they are directly tied to the City’s financial planning and long-term
sustainability. Several goals, particularly those focused on revenue generation and economic development, are
intended to create new funding streams. These include:
• Billboard revenue
• Paid parking updates/feasibility
• Expanded events and partnerships
These revenues are critical to advancing major capital projects, most notably the Lifeguard Headquarters.
A Priority Investment: Lifeguard Headquarters
The Lifeguard Headquarters project represents a defining infrastructure investment for the City and is one that directly
supports public safety and coastal operations. The Lifeguard Headquarters and Police Substation project is estimated
to cost approximately $15 million. Prior to the budget workshops, the City had already set aside approximately $4
million toward the project. During the public budget workshops, the City Council directed staff to identify additional
funding sources, including $2.0 million from adjustments to Capital Improvement Program projects, $1.5 million from
additional funds set aside in accordance with the City's Fiscal Policy, and $1.8 million from historically designated pier
repair funds. Together, these funding sources bring the total amount identified for the project to approximately $9.3
million. The City must close the remaining funding gap and would need support of Council, the public and all of staff.
The strategy to close this gap reflects a balanced and forward-looking approach:
• Leveraging existing funds
• Generating new recurring revenue
• Utilizing bond financing
• Exploring grants and partnerships
• Continue to set funds aside, as available
Together, these eight goals reflect the City Council’s shared priorities and establish a clear direction for the
organization in the year ahead. They will guide operational focus, resource allocation, and policy decisions in the
upcoming fiscal year. As Council considers and approves potential revenue opportunities associated with these goals,
those revenues will be incorporated into the City’s Five-Year Strategic Business Plan and financial outlook. Until such
actions are formally adopted, they are not included in the Five-Year projections, ensuring that the forecast remains
conservative, accurate, and based on approved policies.
THE FIVE-YEAR OUTLOOK
The Five-Year General Fund Outlook provides a framework for communicating the City’s fiscal priorities and outlining
the City’s revenue and expenditure trends. The outlook, based on the City’s FY 2026-27 Budget, reflects the current
economic conditions, trends, and assumptions anticipated. Sales and property tax projections were developed with
the City’s sales and property tax consultant, Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates (HdL), in collaboration with Beacon
Economics. Input from outside experts, institutional economic forecasts, and the City’s departments were also
incorporated into the forecast.
Forecast assumptions are based on the current economic environment, which continues to reflect sustained inflation,
elevated interest rates, reduced consumer spending, and rising costs across nearly all service areas. These pressures
are further influenced by broader global and national conditions, including ongoing geopolitical instability in the Middle
East, which has contributed to volatility in energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and uncertainty in financial markets.
327
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2026-2031
Domestically, factors such as moderating economic growth, labor cost pressures, and potential shifts in federal and
state funding policies add additional complexity to the City’s financial outlook.
Together, these dynamics present ongoing challenges that require disciplined financial management and strategic
planning. The Five-Year Outlook incorporates anticipated cost increases, economic conditions, revenue growth
projections, and inflationary impacts, while identifying potential structural imbalances between projected revenues and
expenditures. Updated annually as part of the budget process, this forward-looking analysis enables City staff and the
City Council to evaluate the long-term fiscal implications of policy decisions and implement proactive measures to
maintain fiscal stability in an increasingly uncertain economic climate.
Historically, the City of Seal Beach has faced difficult fiscal periods that required significant cuts to essential services.
Instead for FY 2026-27, the City is proud to present a balanced budget that maintains the critical services our
community depends on and this is in large part to the passage of Measure GG. The support of our residents in
approving Measure GG reflects the strong trust our community has in the City’s leadership and shared commitments
to maintain the level of service the community expects.
The City has worked diligently to achieve and maintain a balanced budget, often requiring difficult decisions and
ongoing balancing measures to align revenues with expenditures. While these efforts have positioned the City on
stable financial footing today, they are not sustainable without continued action. As costs for maintenance and
operations continue to outpace revenue growth, the City is effectively tightening its budget each year. This has limited
the ability to grow staffing levels in alignment with service demands, placing additional pressure on departments to do
more with fewer resources. Moving forward, it will be critical for the City to continue identifying and implementing new,
sustainable revenue sources to maintain service levels, support strategic priorities, and ensure long-term fiscal health.
Fiscal Reserves
The City’s reserve levels remain a critical component of its overall financial strategy and long-term stability. Reserves
serve as a vital tool to help navigate unexpected financial challenges such as revenue declines, natural disasters, or
economic downturns without immediately disrupting essential services. In today’s uncertain economic environment,
characterized by persistent inflation, fluctuating interest rates, potential changes in state and federal funding, national
policy shifts, global instability, and the impacts of tariffs, maintaining strong reserves is more important than ever.
These funds provide a necessary financial buffer, allowing the City to sustain operations while thoughtfully assessing
and responding to changing economic conditions.
Consistent with best practices, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends maintaining a
minimum of two months of operating reserves. The City’s current policy is even more conservative, targeting a reserve
level between 20% and 25% of General Fund expenditures. The FY 2026–27 budget meets this policy by maintaining
reserves at approximately 25%, positioning the City on strong financial footing. This reflects a pattern of prudent fiscal
decision-making and a continued commitment to long-term sustainability. While the City is well-positioned today, it is
essential to remain forward-looking and continue planning for future uncertainties.
The Five-Year General Fund Outlook further supports this approach by highlighting the relationship between revenues
and expenditures and identifying potential structural imbalances. By evaluating these trends annually, the City can
proactively implement strategies to maintain fiscal stability.
Maintaining adequate reserves ensures:
• Protection against economic downturns
• Flexibility during periods of revenue volatility
• Stability in delivering essential services
Given ongoing economic uncertainty, these reserves will continue to serve as a critical safeguard as the City advances
its strategic priorities and plans for the future.
328
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2026-2031
Pension Planning
As part of its ongoing commitment to long-term fiscal health, the City has taken proactive steps to reduce its pension
liabilities. In 2024, the City made an additional discretionary payment toward its CalPERS unfunded accrued liability
using Revitalization funds. This early payment permanently lowered the City's future required contributions, resulting
in significant ongoing savings. Building on that momentum, the FY 2025-26 Budget included an additional $250,000
dedicated to advancing the City Council’s direction to implement a formal pension paydown plan. Again, the City has
included an additional discretionary payment to support the long-term resilience of the pension plans. By strategically
investing in pension reduction now, the City aims to ease future budget pressures, create long-term structural savings,
and ultimately eliminate its unfunded pension liability. This forward-looking approach reflects the City's commitment
to financial sustainability while preserving the ability to fund essential services well into the future.
General Fund Fiscal Sustainability
Given that the City is largely built out and may not qualify for many grant opportunities, exploring ongoing additional
revenue streams becomes essential as expenses have historically increased above estimated assumptions. It will be
crucial to maintain a diligent approach to expenditure planning with careful consideration.
ASSUMPTIONS
In any given fiscal year, the level of resources, expenditures and year-end positive balances are the result of countless
variables, including the global, national, and state economies; legislative mandates; tax policy; the state’s financial
and budget circumstances; changing land use or building patterns; and City Council priorities. To the extent these
factors vary from the outlook’s assumptions, outcomes will also vary. The City carefully monitors these factors and
adjusts its operational and budget strategies accordingly.
REVENUE ASSUMPTION
Property Tax – Property tax revenues are expected to grow by 4.3 percent in FY 2026-27 over the prior year and
projections are expected to grow 3.4 percent each year over the five-year forecast. Property tax assumptions were
prepared in partnership with the City’s consultant HdL, a consulting firm that specializes in property tax analysis. HdL
Property Tax provided an in-depth presentation to the City which included future assumptions. Seal Beach’s
residential real estate market remains strong, with the assessed property value increasing by 5.41% over the prior
year. The City’s assessed valuation for the roll is $7.9 billion. Limited inventory, coastal appeal, and steady sales
throughout the City continue to drive reassessments and boost property tax revenues. As new construction is
historically very limited, the sale and reassessment of existing properties accounts for most growth in the property tax
base. The median home prices for single family residence is trending at $1.7 million.
Sales Tax – Sales tax is comprised of the Bradely-Burns local sales tax rate as well as the transaction and use tax
approved through Measure BB and Measure GG. HdL lowered the City’s sales tax forecast this year due to a
slowdown in economic activity and cautious consumer spending, particularly on big-ticket discretionary items, and
reductions in consumer goods and restaurants. The City has worked closely with HdL on the forecast noting the
economy continues to struggle with discretionary spending, mostly in consumer goods. However, HdL’s outlook is
showing a downward trend compared to last fiscal year but then will see strong growth in FY 2027-28 and a relatively
positive outlook in in sales tax revenue in the following years, increasing approximately 3.4 percent over the forecast.
Utility Users Tax – Utility Users tax is expected to decline 0.2 percent over the previous fiscal year; this decline is
expected notably due to the decreasing costs from the previous surge in electricity. Average growth in the five year is
0.5 percent, as the City has reached peak levels and are seeing rebates which are offsetting this revenue source.
Transient Occupancy Tax – Transient occupancy tax has continuously exceeded expectations. Although it appears
in the forecast to be growing, it is budgeted at historical performance. Going forward it is expected to remain relatively
flat as the hospitality industry in Seal Beach is at capacity. The forecast assumes inflation and a slight uptick from
compliance of online platforms for reporting. With only three hotels in town, occupancy remains consistently high due
to spillover demand from surrounding areas. However, the small number of lodging options limits the City’s ability to
grow TOT revenue, even with steady visitor interest.
329
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2026-2031
Franchise Fees – While there may be some fluctuations in franchise fee revenue due to changes in energy usage
and other factors, the City does not expect to see any significant increases or decreases.
Charges For Services – Includes refuse, parking meters, planning and plan check fees, tennis center services, and
recreation fees and shows a growth of 16.9 percent due in part to increases in the use of the Tennis and Pickleball
Center and planning and plan check fees. This also includes the increases at the beach lots from the previous budget.
Other Revenues – Other revenues include licenses and permits, intergovernmental, fines and forfeitures, use of
money and property and other revenues. These revenues are less susceptible to economic changes and often include
one-time revenues. Fines and Forfeitures remain flat as it is important to note that citations are not viewed or used as
a source of revenue for the City. Our primary goal is always to promote public safety and quality of life through
education and responsible enforcement. Other revenues are expected to see relatively flat growth overall.
EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS
Regular Salaries and Benefits – Regular salary expenditures increased by 3% and appear relatively flat in the
current budget; however, this trend is primarily driven by recent employee turnover rather than a lack of growth in
staffing or services as well as many of the positions in the City are at step 5. As positions have been refilled, many
new employees have entered at the lower end of the salary range, which temporarily reduces overall salary costs. In
addition, these newer employees are enrolled in the PEPRA tier of CalPERS, which has a different cost structure
compared to legacy “Classic” members. As these employees progress through salary steps over time, regular salary
expenditures are expected to increase in future years.
Retirement – This amount includes the projection for required increases estimated by CalPERS to pay down the
unfunded actuarial liabilities of all plans. The City anticipates a 7.5% increase in retirement costs for FY 2026-27. This
is lower than the prior year’s increase of 11.9% and is primarily due to changes implemented by CalPERS (California
Public Employees' Retirement System) offset by strong investment earnings. These changes include a reduction in
the discount rate from 7% to 6.8%, which increases the City's required contributions to employee pensions offset by
11.6% investment returns in 2024-25. Additionally, the City has made two $250,000 discretionary payments to
CalPERS, further strengthening its investment in employees’ long-term retirement security. The budget includes a
third discretionary payment, demonstrating the City’s continued commitment to supporting its workforce.
Other Pay & Benefits – Other Pay and Benefits includes all part-time salaries, special pay items, health benefits and
other payroll related items. These estimates fluctuate based on the individual benefits. Other Pay and Benefits
decreased by 2.9 percent from the prior year, driven primarily by reductions in overtime. Future years have a steady
anticipated growth of 6.3% mostly due to insurance costs.
Fire Services: The City’s contracts for Fire services with Orange County Fire Authority remained flat over the prior
year due to the end of their pension snowball plan. Over the outlook it is anticipated to remain at 4.5% and is
anticipated to continue this growth on average through the forecast due to increased service costs and recent
Memorandum of Understanding Negotiations with their respective bargaining groups.
Insurance: The City contracts with the California Joint Power Insurance Authority (CJPIA) for General Liability,
Property Insurance, and Worker’s Compensation. CJPIA costs grew 7.2 percent over the prior year. Assumptions can
change as increased labor and contract costs are anticipated to rise.
Maintenance and Operations – This category includes day-to-day operating costs of the City. The largest items are
equipment and materials, facilities maintenance, consulting, training, and contract professional. The assumptions for
these costs vary depending on the account, however they are based on factors such as the consumer price index,
utility cost increase estimates, and increase in contract renewal.
Transfers – These costs vary based on subsidies needed to fund operations of other funds.

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations determined by most recent published International Code Council (ICC) Building Valuation Table or by Contractors signed
contract. Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing,
heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official,
the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the
approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. The final building permit valuation shall
be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.
Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section F, additional fees apply for permit processing. Additional fees
may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), Technology Enhancement Fees, and Fees Collected on
Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

SEWER AND WATER CONNECTION CHARGES
Fee Charge Basis NoteActivity Description
[c] Connection charges shall be determined by the City Engineer and approved by City Council at the time of development or request.
[a] Fee is determined based on the new or net upsized water service meter connection and is also applied to the sewer rates for services
within the Seal Beach service boundary. Sewer rates are calculated using the value of the existing system that is not subject to replacement
through the existing Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program and the total annual water use by sewer system customers in billing units.
Beginning July 1, 2002 and every July 1st thereafter, the fee may automatically increase by an amount calculated using the following formula
– multiply the most recent fee in effect by the percentage increase over the previous 12 months immediately preceding the most recent
publication of the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index existing on July 1st of the year of the increase.
[b] For services that have never been connected or paid into the system, fees are calculated using the value of the existing system that is not
subject to replacement through an existing Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program and the total annual water use by system customers in
billing units. Beginning July 1, 2002 and every July 1st thereafter, the fee may automatically increase by an amount calculated using the
following formula – multiply the most recent fee in effect by the percentage increase over the previous 12 months immediately preceding the
most recent publication of the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index existing on July 1st of the year of the increase.

For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2027
FY 2026-2027
The voters of California approved Article XIII - B of the California State Constitution also known as Proposition 4, or the
"Gann Initiative".The proposition restricts the total amount of appropriations allowed in any given fiscal year from the
"proceeds of taxes".In 1980, the State Legislature added a section of the Government Code that required the governing
body of each local jurisdiction to establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations
limit for any fiscal year was equal to the previous year's limit,adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S.
Consumer Price Index or California per Capita Personal Income if smaller.
In June 1990, the voters modified the original Proposition 4 with the passage of Proposition 111 and its implementing
legislation. Beginning with the 1990-91 Appropriations Limit,a City may choose annual adjustment factors. The
adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth within the County or the City.
Under Proposition 4,if a city ends the fiscal year having more proceeds of taxes than the Limit allows, it must return the
excess to the taxpayers within two years.

TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Barbara Arenado, Director of Finance/City Treasurer
SUBJECT:Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7786 confirming the diagram, assessment,
and levying assessments for the Seal Beach Street Lighting Assessment District
No.1 (District) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
At the May 11, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution
initiating the annual levy of assessments, a resolution approving the Engineer’s
Report and a resolution of intention setting the date for the public hearing on June
8, 2026.
Assessments for the District are being levied for the following improvements:
A) The maintenance and servicing of arterial street lights which provide an area
wide special benefit to all assessable parcels within the district whether or not
such parcels are in close proximity to such lights; and,
B) The maintenance and servicing of streetlights in close proximity to certain lots
and parcels that provides a local special benefit to such lots or parcels.
The total assessment for each parcel reflects a combination of the area wide and
local special benefit received by the parcel. The amount of special benefit in each
category for residential parcels varies depending on the type of dwelling, e.g.
whether single family or multiple units. Non-residential parcels are assessed an
area wide special benefit based on square footage and a local special benefit
based on front footage.
The assessment for each parcel of property in the district is based upon the benefit
derived from street lighting. Total estimated costs for providing street lighting for
2026-2027 are $279,923, which includes utility costs of $270,000, assessment
engineer costs of $9,500, and a County fee of $423. The Reserve Fund is

estimated to be $0.00 as of June 30, 2026. Therefore, in order to cover the
estimated Fiscal Year 2026-2027 expenditures of $279,923, the total revenues
required are $140,992 in assessments plus a General Fund contribution of
$138,931.
A comparison of the last two years’ assessments to the proposed assessment is
summarized in the following table:
2024-25 2025-26 2026-27
Zone 1 Single family homes in College
Park East & West, the Hill & Cove Areas $21.86 $21.86 $21.86
Zone 2 Single family homes in Old Town $11.26 $11.26 $11.26
Zone 3 Leisure World Condominiums $ 1.21 $ 1.21 $ 1.21
Zone 4 Surfside $ 4.15 $ 4.15 $ 4.15
Actual assessments may be found in the Engineer’s Report on file in the Office of
the City Clerk.
Before the end of the hearing, any interested person may file a written protest with
the City Clerk, or, having previously filed a protest may file a written withdrawal of
that protest. A written protest shall state all grounds of objection. Protest by a
property owner shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property.
State law requires that all interested persons shall be afforded the opportunity to
hear and be heard at the public hearing and that the Council shall consider all oral
and written communications. The statute allows Council Members to order
changes during the course of the hearing. These changes may relate to any of the
matters proposed in the report. All changes must be reflected in the Resolution
confirming the diagram and assessment.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact to the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is
approximately $138,931. The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget has $138,931
appropriated, approved by the Director of Finance/City Treasurer.

SUBJECT:Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Special Taxes
for Community Facilities District No. 2002-01 (Heron Pointe)
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7787 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Annual Special Taxes for Community Facilities District No. 2002-01 (Heron
Pointe).
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On September 23, 2002, the City approved the establishment of Community
Facilities District (CFD) 2002-01 known as Heron Pointe (“the District”) and
approved Ordinance No. 1490 authorizing the levy of special taxes within the
District. However, the development was faced with various delays related to the
discovery of a Native American burial site within the District’s boundaries. As a
result, final California Coastal Commission approval was not received until July
2005. Immediately upon receipt of final approval, the City issued $3,985,000 of
CFD Bonds to fund the cost of various improvements within the District. Per the
Official Statement dated June 5, 2015, the City issued $3,480,000 Special Tax
Refunding Bonds, Series 2015 and scheduled the outstanding amount of the CFD
Bonds issued in 2005 to be redeemed in full.
The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to calculate special taxes for
the District for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The special taxes collected are considered
special revenue. Special revenue sources are legally restricted to specific
purposes. As a result, this special tax is not included in the General Fund revenues.
The special taxes will satisfy debt service on the Bonds. The method of
assessment for the special taxes is described in the Amended Rate and Method
of Apportionment section of the CFD Report prepared by contractor Taussig and
Associates and was submitted to Council on January 12, 2004. The method of
assessment defines two primary categories of property: Developed Property and
Undeveloped Property. The category of Developed Property is further divided into
five separate special tax classifications that vary with land use (e.g., residential
Page 2

and non-residential) and floor area (in square feet). The FY 2026-2027 maximum
and actual special taxes per unit/acre are listed as follows:

5 Non-Residential NA $51,169.73 $ 0.00
N/A Undeveloped NA $57,345.15 $ 0.00
Exhibit A of the Resolution shows the FY 2026-2027 special tax levy for each
parcel being taxed.
Total expenditures for FY 2026-2027 are estimated at $272,272.88. This estimate
includes debt service payments of $248,181.26 and administrative expenses of
$24,091.62. Total revenues from the special tax are estimated at $272,272.24 for
FY 2026-2027. There is a small variance of $0.64 in total expenditures to total
revenue due to a County submittal requirement that charges must be even and
divisible by two. No credit will be applied to the levy this fiscal year.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact for this item.

________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7788 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Annual Special Tax Levy for Community Facilities District No. 2002-02 (Seal
Beach Blvd./Lampson Ave. Landscape Maintenance District).
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In July 2003, the City Council authorized a special tax to be levied within the
Communities Facilities District No. 2002-02 known as Seal Beach
Boulevard/Lampson Avenue Landscape Maintenance (“the District”). The special
tax is levied against parcels on the east side of Seal Beach Boulevard to Lampson
Avenue beginning north of the I-405 Freeway off-ramp and ending at the City limits.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 annual special tax is being increased from the
prior fiscal year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area, as measured between
March of 2025 and March of 2026. Only parcels located within the established
District are charged this special tax for landscape maintenance. The special tax is
calculated per gross land acreage multiplied by the land area of the parcel. The
special tax rates for each area of the District are illustrated as follows:

Levy For Community Facilities District No. 2005-01 (Pacific
Gateway Business Center)
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7789 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Annual Special Tax Levy For Community Facilities District No. 2005-01 (Pacific
Gateway Business Center).
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In January 2006, the City approved the establishment of Community Facilities
District (CFD) No. 2005-01 known as the Pacific Gateway Business Center (“the
District”). On February 13, 2006, the City Council approved Ordinance 1542
levying the special taxes within the District. Subsequently, in May 2006 the City
issued $8,800,000 of CFD Bonds to fund the costs of various improvements within
the District. Per the Official Statement dated January 6, 2016, the City issued
$8,450,000 Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2016 and scheduled the
outstanding amount of the CFD Bonds issued in 2006 to be redeemed in full.
The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to calculate the special taxes
for the District for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027. The special taxes collected are
considered special revenue. Special revenue sources are legally restricted to
specific purposes. As a result, this special tax is not included in the General Fund
revenues.
Special taxes were segregated into two groups: A and B. Special Tax A will satisfy
debt service on the Bonds (“Debt Service”) and Special Tax B will satisfy costs
related to the maintenance of parks, parkways and open space within the District
(“Landscape Maintenance”). Exhibit “A” of the resolution shows the FY 2026-2027
special tax levy for each parcel being taxed.
The method of assessment for Special Taxes A & B is described in the Rate and
Method of Apportionment section of the Official Statement. The method of
Page 2

assessment defines two primary categories of property: Developed Property and
Undeveloped Property. Special Tax A allows for a maximum assessment rate of
$22,284.84 per Acre on Developed Property within the District. This rate is to be
increased by an amount equal to two percent (2%) annually. The FY 2026-2027
maximum and actual Special Tax A per Acre is listed as follows:

Total expenditures for FY 2026-2027 are estimated at $626,323.35. This estimate
includes debt service payments of $581,450.00 and administrative expenses of
$44,873.35. Total revenues from Special Tax A are estimated at $626.323.26 for
FY 2026-2027. There is a small variance of $0.09 in total expenditures to total
revenue due to a County submittal requirement that charges must be even and
divisible by two. No credit will be applied to the levy this fiscal year.
The maximum Landscape Maintenance special tax rate for FY 2026-2027 is
$3,520.89 per Acre within the District. This rate is to be increased by an amount
equal to two percent (2%) annually. The FY 2026-2027 maximum and actual

from Special Tax B are estimated at $76,802.64 for FY 2026-2027. There is a small

________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7790 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-27
Statement of Investment Policy and Delegation of Authority to the Director of
Finance/City Treasurer.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
As a best practice, the Statement of Investment Policy (Policy) should be reviewed
and approved by City Council on an annual basis. Additionally, there is a
requirement in the Government Code for the delegation by the City Council to the
Director of Finance/City Treasurer to occur annually. To ensure that this annual
requirement occurs, the Policy will need to be brought before the City Council each
year regardless of whether there are any proposed changes to the Policy.
PFM Asset Management (PFMAM), the City’s Investment Management
consultants, has reviewed the current Statement of Investment Policy for
compliance with the California Government Codes that regulate the investment of
public funds. Two changes have been recommended to be incorporated into the
policy.
1. Per Senate Bill 858, PFMAM has recommended extending the maturity in
commercial paper from 270 to 397 days. The change will align with SEC
Rule 2a-7 further enhancing investment flexibility and consistency.
2. Per Senate Bill 827 and Code Section 53238.2, PFMAM has
recommended adding language pertaining to fiscal and financial training
for local agency current officials by January 1, 2028, and new officials
within six months of assuming their role, with refresher training at least
once biennially thereafter.
Therefore, we are requesting approval to update policy for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Management Program.
The City’s Cash Management Program is designed to accurately monitor and forecast

law and prudent money management. All funds will be invested in accordance with
California Government Code Sections 53601 et seq. and the City’s Investment Policy.
SECTION 2 – SCOPE
The Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the City except
the investment of bond proceeds, which are governed by the appropriate bond
documents, and any pension or other post-employment benefit funds held in a trust.
SECTION 3 – PRUDENCE
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials will be the “prudent
investor” standard, which states that, “when investing, reinvesting, purchasing,
acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care,
skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not
limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency,
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would
use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the
principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.”

SECTION 4 – OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the investment activities of the City are:
1. SAFETY – Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Seal Beach.
2. LIQUIDITY – The City’s portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City
to meet its cash flow requirements. It is important that the portfolio contain
investments which provide the ability of being easily sold at any time with minimal

3. YIELD – The City’s portfolio will be designed to attain a market rate of return
through economic cycles consistent with the constraints imposed by its safety
objective and cash flow considerations.
SECTION 5 – DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53607, the City Council has delegated
its investment authority and the management responsibility for the investment program
to the Director of Finance/City Treasurer for a period of one year concurrently with the

authority is subject to review and annual renewal by the City Council in its discretion,
which annual renewal may be made by the City Council in connection with its annual
budget adoption or an amendment to this Investment Policy, or at such other time as
appropriate and convenient. The Director of Finance/City Treasurer will monitor and
review all investments for consistency with this Investment Policy. The Director of
Finance/City Treasurer may grant investment decision making and execution authority
to an investment advisor, provided that the Director of Finance/City Treasurer exercises
prudence in the selection of the investment advisor, imposes suitable safeguards to
prevent abuse in the exercise of discretion by the investment advisor, and remains
responsible for any investment decisions made by the investment advisor. The advisor
will follow the Investment Policy and such other written instructions as are provided.

operation of the City’s investment program.

Glossary
Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) are securities whose income payments and hence
value is derived from and collateralized (or "backed") by a specified pool of underlying
assets which are receivables. Pooling the assets into financial instruments allows them
to be sold to general investors, a process called securitization, and allows the risk of
investing in the underlying assets to be diversified because each security will represent
a fraction of the total value of the diverse pool of underlying assets. The pools of
underlying assets can comprise common payments credit cards, auto loans, mortgage
loans, and other types of assets. Interest and principal is paid to investors from
borrowers who are paying down their debt.
Bankers’ Acceptances are short-term credit arrangements to enable businesses to
obtain funds to finance commercial transactions. They are time drafts drawn on a bank
by an exporter or importer to obtain funds to pay for specific merchandise. By its
acceptance, the bank becomes primarily liable for the payment of the draft at maturity.
An acceptance is a high-grade negotiable instrument.
Broker-Dealer is a person or a firm who can act as a broker or a dealer depending on
the transaction. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission. They do
not take a position. A dealer acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling for
his own account.
Certificates Of Deposit
1. Negotiable Certificates of Deposit are large-denomination CDs. They are
issued at face value and typically pay interest at maturity, if maturing in less than
12 months. CDs that mature beyond this range pay interest semi -annually.
Negotiable CDs are issued by U.S. banks (domestic CDs), U.S. branches of
foreign banks (Yankee CDs), and thrifts. There is an active secondary market for
negotiable domestic and Yankee CDs. However, the negotiable thrift CD
secondary market is limited. Yields on CDs exceed those on U.S. treasuries and
agencies of similar maturities. This higher yield compensates the investor for
accepting the risk of reduced liquidity and the risk that the issuing bank might fail.
State law does not require the collateralization of negotiable CDs.
2. Non-negotiable Certificates of Deposit are time deposits with financial
institutions that earn interest at a specified rate for a specified term. Liquidation of
the CD prior to maturity incurs a penalty. There is no secondary market for these
instruments, therefore, they are not liquid. They are classified as public deposits,
and financial institutions are required to collateralize them. Collateral may be
waived for the portion of the deposits that are covered by FDIC insurance.
10
Collateral refers to securities, evidence of deposits, or other property that a borrower
pledges to secure repayment of a loan. It also refers to securities pledged by a bank to
secure deposits. In California, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase
agreements, and public deposits must be collateralized.
Commercial Paper is a short term, unsecured, promissory note issued by a corporation
to raise working capital.
Federal Agency Obligations are issued by U.S. Government Agencies or Government
Sponsored Enterprises (GSE). Although they were created or sponsored by the U.S.
Government, most Agencies and GSEs are not guaranteed by the United States
Government. Examples of these securities are notes, bonds, bills and discount notes
issued by Fannie Mae (FNMA), Freddie Mac (FHLMC), the Federal Home Loan Bank
system (FHLB), and Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB). The Agency market is a very
large and liquid market, with billions traded every day.
Issuer means any corporation, governmental unit, or financial institution that borrows
money through the sale of securities.
Liquidity refers to the ease and speed with which an asset can be converted into cash
without loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the difference
between the bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonably sized trades can be done at
those quotes.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a special fund in the State Treasury that
local agencies may use to deposit funds for investment. There is no minimum
investment period and the minimum transaction is $5,000, in multiples of $1,000 above
that, with a maximum of $65 million for any California public agency. It offers high
liquidity because deposits can be converted to cash in twenty -four hours and no interest
is lost. All interest is distributed to those agencies participating on a proportionate share
determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited.
Interest is paid quarterly via direct deposit to the agency’s LAIF account. The State
keeps an amount for reasonable costs of making the investments, not to exceed one -
quarter of one per cent of the earnings.
Market Value is the price at which a security is trading and could presumably be
purchased or sold.
Maturity is the date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes
due and payable.
Medium-Term Notes are debt obligations issued by corporations and banks, usually in
the form of unsecured promissory notes. These are negotiable instruments that can be
bought and sold in a large and active secondary market. For the purposes of California
Government Code, the term “Medium Term” refers to a maximum remaining maturity of
five years or less. They can be issued with fixed or floating-rate coupons, and with or
11
without early call features, although the vast majority are fixed -rate and non-callable.
Corporate notes have greater risk than Treasuries or Agencies because they rely on the
ability of the issuer to make payment of principal and interest.
Money Market Fund is a type of investment comprising a variety of short -term securities
with high quality and high liquidity. The fund provides interest to shareholders. Prior to
amendments to the money market fund regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission in 2014, all money market funds were required to strive to
maintain a stable net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. Following the 2014 money
market fund reform, certain money market funds are required to sell and redeem shares
based on the current market-based value of the securities in their underlying portfolios
rounded to the fourth decimal place (i.e., transact at a floating or fluctuating net asset
value (NAV)). Accordingly, money market funds available today may be either a floating
NAV money market fund or a stable NAV money market fund.
Principal describes the original cost of a security. It represents the amount of capital or
money that the investor pays for the investment.
Repurchase Agreements are short-term investment transactions. Banks buy
temporarily idle funds from a customer by selling him U.S. Government or other
securities with a contractual agreement to repurchase the same securities on a future
date at an agreed upon interest rate. Repurchase Agreements are typically for one to
ten days in maturity. The customer receives interest from the bank. The interest rate
reflects both the prevailing demand for Federal Funds and the maturity of the Repo.
Repurchase Agreements must be collateralized.
Supranationals are securities issued or unconditionally guaranteed by multi -lateral
international financial institutions whose member nations contribute capital and
participate in management.
U.S. Treasury Issues are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are
highly liquid and are considered the safest investment security. U.S. Treasury issues
include:
1. Treasury Bills which are non-interest-bearing discount securities issued by the
U.S. Treasury to finance the national debt. Bills are currently issued in 4 -week, 8-
week, 13-week, 26-week, and 52-week maturities.
2. Treasury Notes that have original maturities of one to ten years.
3. Treasury Bonds that have original maturities of greater than 10 years.
Yield to Maturity is the rate of income return on an investment, minus any premium
above par or plus any discount with the adjustment spread over the period from the date
of the purchase to the date of maturity of the bond.

pledges to secure repayment of a loan. It also refers to securities pledged by a bank to
10
secure deposits. In California, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements,
and public deposits must be collateralized.
Commercial Paper is a short term, unsecured, promissory note issued by a corporation
to raise working capital.
Federal Agency Obligations are issued by U.S. Government Agencies or Government
Sponsored Enterprises (GSE). Although they were created or sponsored by the U.S.
Government, most Agencies and GSEs are not guaranteed by the United States
Government. Examples of these securities are notes, bonds, bills and discount notes
issued by Fannie Mae (FNMA), Freddie Mac (FHLMC), the Federal Home Loan Bank
system (FHLB), and Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB). The Agency market is a very
large and liquid market, with billions traded every day.
Issuer means any corporation, governmental unit, or financial institution that borrows
money through the sale of securities.
Liquidity refers to the ease and speed with which an asset can be converted into cash
without loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the difference
between the bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonably sized trades can be done at
those quotes.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a special fund in the State Treasury that local
agencies may use to deposit funds for investment. There is no minimum investment
period and the minimum transaction is $5,000, in multiples of $1,000 above that, with a
maximum of $65 million for any California public agency. It offers high liquidity because
deposits can be converted to cash in twenty-four hours and no interest is lost. All interest
is distributed to those agencies participating on a proportionate share d etermined by the
amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly
via direct deposit to the agency’s LAIF account. The State keeps an amount for
reasonable costs of making the investments, not to exceed one -quarter of one per cent
of the earnings.
Market Value is the price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased
or sold.
Maturity is the date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes
due and payable.
Medium-Term Notes are debt obligations issued by corporations and banks, usually in
the form of unsecured promissory notes. These are negotiable instruments that can be
bought and sold in a large and active secondary market. For the purposes of California
Government Code, the term “Medium Term” refers to a maximum remaining maturity of
five years or less. They can be issued with fixed or floating-rate coupons, and with or
without early call features, although the vast majority are fixed -rate and non-callable.
11
Corporate notes have greater risk than Treasuries or Agencies because they rely on the
ability of the issuer to make payment of principal and interest.
Money Market Fund is a type of investment comprising a variety of short-term securities
with high quality and high liquidity. The fund provides interest to shareholders. Prior to
amendments to the money market fund regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission in 2014, all money market funds were required to strive to maintain
a stable net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. Following the 2014 money market fund
reform, certain money market funds are required to sell and redeem shares b ased on the
current market-based value of the securities in their underlying portfolios rounded to the
fourth decimal place (i.e., transact at a floating or fluctuating net asset value (NAV)).
Accordingly, money market funds available today may be either a floating NAV money
market fund or a stable NAV money market fund.
Principal describes the original cost of a security. It represents the amount of capital or
money that the investor pays for the investment.
Repurchase Agreements are short-term investment transactions. Banks buy
temporarily idle funds from a customer by selling him U.S. Government or other securities
with a contractual agreement to repurchase the same securities on a future date at an
agreed upon interest rate. Repurchase Agreements are typically for one to ten days in
maturity. The customer receives interest from the bank. The interest rate reflects both the
prevailing demand for Federal Funds and the maturity of the Repo. Repurchase
Agreements must be collateralized.
Supranationals are securities issued or unconditionally guaranteed by multi -lateral
international financial institutions whose member nations contribute capital and
participate in management.
U.S. Treasury Issues are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are
highly liquid and are considered the safest investment security. U.S. Treasury issues
include:
1. Treasury Bills which are non-interest-bearing discount securities issued by the
U.S. Treasury to finance the national debt. Bills are currently issued in 4 -week, 8-
week, 13-week, 26-week, and 52-week maturities.
2. Treasury Notes that have original maturities of one to ten years.
3. Treasury Bonds that have original maturities of greater than 10 years.
Yield to Maturity is the rate of income return on an investment, minus any premium above
par or plus any discount with the adjustment spread over the period from the date of the
purchase to the date of maturity of the bond.

Re: 2026 Investment Policy Review
May 20,2026
At your request, we reviewed the City of Seal Beach (the “City”) Investment Policy (the “Policy”) as part of the
City’s annual review process. The current Policy is comprehensive and is in compliance with the current
California Government Code (“Code”) statutes regulating the investment of public funds.
However, there are a few changes in Code effective January 1, 2026, that we recommend be included
into the policy. Senate Bill 827 will introduce mandatory fiscal and financial training for local agency
officials on budgeting, reporting, debt management and investment standards (current officials by
J ), with refresher training at
least once biennially thereafter.
Furthermore, Senate Bill 858
397 days. The change is recommended as it allows for consistency with SEC Rule a-7, enhanced
of statues.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss further.

Agenda Item N
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE:June 8, 2026
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT:Re-Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 1726
Regarding City Parking Regulations
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council conduct a first reading, read by title only, and re-introduce
Ordinance 1726 titled, “An Ordinance of the City Of Seal Beach Amending Certain
Sections of Chapter 8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach
Municipal Code to Modernize Paid Parking Provisions, Establish a Residential
Parking Permit Program Framework, Clarify Curb-Use Regulations Including
Daylighting Near Crosswalks, and Make Other Technical Revisions.”
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
At its meeting on April 13, 2026, the City Council introduced Ordinance 1726 titled,
“An Ordinance of the City Of Seal Beach Amending Certain Sections of Chapter
8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach Municipal Code to
Modernize Paid Parking Provisions, Establish a Residential Parking Permit
Program Framework, Clarify Curb-Use Regulations Including Daylighting Near
Crosswalks, and Make Other Technical Revisions.”
At the April 13, 2026 meeting, the City Council requested an edit to the Ordinance
to clarify that paid parking zones are only established at the off-street municipal
parking lots. The Ordinance was then scheduled for second reading and adoption
on April 27, 2026.
However, ongoing discussions with stakeholders regarding paid parking zones
resulted in further substantive revisions to the language in Section 8.15.105.A of
the Ordinance. Specifically, a concern was raised that the “City of Seal Beach
Parking Meter Zone Map,” dated September 23, 2002, which has been historically
referenced in that section of the Code, did not accurately identify the location of
paid parking zones within the City. The map still shows areas on Main Street and
certain side streets where paid parking could be allowed, but which is not currently
allowed.
Page 2

In 2004, the City Council rescinded the 2002 authorization to place parking meters
on Main Street. Since then, the City Council has not authorized paid parking on
Main Street. Therefore, the status quo remains that there is no on-street paid
parking on Main Street, and portions of Ocean Avenue, Central Avenue, and
Electric Avenue.
Staff has revised the proposed Ordinance to remove any reference to the 2002
Parking Meter Zone Map. The proposed Ordinance confirms that the only paid
parking zones within the City are the off-street municipal parking lots along Main
Street, Ocean Avenue, First Street, and Electric Avenue. This change merely
reflects the current status quo and makes no change to the current locations for
paid parking within the City. The Coastal Commission previously reviewed and
approved these off-street lots for paid parking.
Because the Ordinance was substantively altered after first reading, it must be
reintroduced pursuant to Section 412 of the City charter.
In addition, a typographical error was corrected in revised section 8.15.110.D.1.b
(the phrase “by resolution” should have been located after the word “modified”).
For further information about the Ordinance, please see the April 13, 2026 staff
report.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed Ordinance has been reviewed as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact for this item.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council conduct a first reading, read by title only, and re-introduce
Ordinance 1726 titled, “An Ordinance of the City Of Seal Beach Amending Certain
Sections of Chapter 8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach
Municipal Code to Modernize Paid Parking Provisions, Establish a Residential
Parking Permit Program Framework, Clarify Curb-Use Regulations Including
Daylighting Near Crosswalks, and Make Other Technical Revisions.”

review; and
4. Present to the City Council for final action, a
resolution that would establish a residential
permit parking area in accordance with
requirements of this article, including all
regulations and time restrictions determined by
the City Council to be reasonable and
necessary for such area.

a resolution to establish a residential permit
parking area, no further changes or requests for
changes in resident permit parking restrictions
for this area will be considered for a minimum
period of one year.
6. The City Manager or designee may restrict all or
certain portions of City-owned property other
than streets, alleys or highways as residential
permit parking only; when authorized signs have
been posted giving notice of such residential
permit parking restrictions. It is unlawful and an
infraction for any person to park or leave
standing a vehicle within such area during the
times and days when such parking is prohibited,
other than a vehicle that has been issued a valid
residential parking permit or exempted pursuant
to Section 8.15.110 C of this article.

b. The City Council may establish or modify, by resolution, a
designated residential permit parking area in any manner
consistent with this article and Vehicle Code Section 22507.
2. Initiation by City Council: Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit
the authority of the City Council to establish a permit parking district in the
absence of a resident’s petition in accordance with Vehicle Code Section
22507.
J. Designation Criteria For Merchant/Employee Parking Permit Areas.

permits.
3. Only employees with proof of current employment at a business with an
active business license may purchase employee permits.
4. Merchant/Employee permits are non-transferable.
K. Designation Criteria for Contractor Permits.
1. Contractor permits are for contractors doing business in the City and are
valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

5.10.115) to qualify for purchase of these permits and they are only valid
from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
3. No extensions or fee reductions will be implemented related to contractor

3. No residential parking permit issued pursuant to this article shall be
transferable from the permit holder to any other person, nor from one
vehicle to another.
M. Residential Permit Policies.
1. A residential parking permit may be issued only to an eligible driver who can
demonstrate that they currently reside at an eligible dwelling unit within the
residential permit parking area for which the permit is to be issued.
2. To be issued a residential parking permit, each eligible driver shall provide
the following information:
a. The applicant’s full, true name and home address, and proof of
residence;
b. The applicant’s driver’s license’
c. A valid and current vehicle registration and license plate number of
the vehicle for which a permit is being requested;
d. The applicable fee; and
e. Such other information as required by the Police Department.
3. A temporary residential parking permit shall be issued to an eligible driver
for a rented or borrowed registered vehicle where the eligible driver, residing
in a residential permit parking zone, demonstrates their own vehicle is
unavailable for that driver's use for a temporary period. Such permits will
expire upon the return to use of the originally permitted vehicle or its
replacement.
4. The City Council may, by resolution, limit the number of permits issued to
any resident, dwelling unit, or residential permit parking area if such
limitation would further the goals of the residential permit parking program.
5. Residential parking permits will not be issued to non-motorized vehicles
(i.e., trailers) or to commercial vehicles that are registered at business

Agenda Item N
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE:April 13, 2026
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM:Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT:Approving and Authorizing Amendments to the Seal Beach
Municipal Code Pertaining to Parking Regulations, the
Residential Parking Permit Program, Paid Parking, and
Other Regulations
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council introduce, waive full reading, and read by title only,
Ordinance 1726, an Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach Amending Certain
Sections of Chapter 8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach
Municipal Code (SBMC) to modernize paid parking provisions, establish a
residential parking permit program framework, clarify curb-use regulations
including daylighting near crosswalks, and make other technical revisions.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City’s curbside and off-street parking policies directly affect safety, access,
mobility, and the overall customer experience in commercial districts and
neighborhoods. Parking is also closely tied to public safety operations—when curb
use is orderly and predictable, first responders can access emergencies more
quickly, congestion is reduced, and conflicts are minimized. The proposed
ordinance updates are part of a broader effort to keep the City’s parking toolbox
current, support high compliance through clear rules and modern technology, and
maintain an enforcement framework that is practical, fair, and effective.
1) Paid Parking Modernization. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC)
currently references traditional meters and pay stations. The amendment
broadens these terms to include contemporary and emerging options such as
mobile payment, text-to-pay, and other paid parking methods as approved by the
Police Department. Fees will continue to be set by Council resolution, giving
policy-makers flexibility to adjust rates or programs without re-opening the code.
The update also refines prohibited conduct in paid zones and clarifies that posted
signage and official instructions govern the method of payment and proof of
payment.

2) Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program Framework. While demand for
residential permits may vary over time, the current code lacks a complete process
to create and administer permit zones requested by residents. The ordinance
establishes a clear, objective mechanism that the City can activate when it
receives a petition initiated by residents, including:
Designation criteria (e.g., a resident petition threshold and parking
occupancy study);
Permit categories (resident, guest, merchant/employee where
appropriate, and contractor), issuance, duration, non-transferability, and
revocation for misuse;
Administrative rules to be adopted by the Police Department to implement
day-to-day procedures (application, documentation, and enforcement).
This framework prepares the City to respond to emerging conditions—near the
beach, schools, or other generators—without committing to any specific district
until Council formally establishes one by resolution.
Under Vehicle Code Section 22507, the City Council retains the discretion to
establish a preferential permit parking district for residents or businesses whether
or not a petition is submitted to initiate the process by residents. The City Council
may establish a parking permit fee in order to recover the City’s cost of
administering the permit program.
3) Stopping/Standing/Parking Clarifications (including Daylighting). The
ordinance consolidates and clarifies several curb-use provisions, including aligning
local rules with state “daylighting” requirements by prohibiting stopping, standing,
or parking within a set distance of marked or unmarked crosswalks in order to
improve visibility for pedestrians and drivers. This helps provide a consistent,
comprehensible standard for the public and supports safety near intersections.
Focus on Compliance and Effective Enforcement: The City’s goal is to achieve
high compliance so that spaces turn over appropriately, residents and businesses
have access, and mobility is improved. Enforcement remains an essential tool to
ensure fairness and predictability. The proposed updates support both aims by
clarifying rules, modernizing payment options, and creating a permit pathway
where warranted.
