Proclaiming
O CTOBER 2025
AS F ILIPINO A MERICAN H ISTORY M ONTH
Whereas, Filipino American History Month is observed each October to honor the history, heritage,
and contributions of Filipino Americans in the United States; and
Whereas, the Filipino community has been part of American history since October 1587, when the
first documented Filipinos arrived in present-day Morro Bay, California, marking more than four
centuries of shared history; and
Whereas, Filipino Americans have significantly enriched the cultural, civic, economic, and social
fabric of our nation and our city through their leadership, service, and traditions; and
Whereas, this month provides an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the countless contributions
of Filipino Americans, as well as to increase awareness and appreciation for their enduring impact on
our communities; and
Whereas, the City of Rohnert Park proudly recognizes Kabayan Filipino Market for its role in
preserving Filipino heritage, serving our community, and sharing the richness of Filipino culture, food,
and traditions with residents and visitors alike; and
Whereas, we recognize how Filipino Americans have initiated efforts to ensure Filipino voices are
heard, experiences are recognized, and histories are told.
Now, Therefore, be it Proclaimed that I, Gerard Giudice, as Mayor and on behalf of the
City Council, do hereby proclaim October 2025 as Filipino American History Month and encourage
all residents to learn more about and celebrate the rich history, vibrant culture, and local contributions
of Filipino Americans, with special recognition to Kabayan Filipino Market for its contributions to
our community.
Duly and Regularly Proclaimed this 14th day of October 2025.

Recognizing
O CTOBER 24, 2025 AS W ORLD POLIO DAY
Whereas, in 1985 Rotary International launched Polio Plus and spearheaded the Global Polio
Eradication Initiative with the World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and UNICEF to immunize the children of the world against polio; and
Whereas, polio cases have dropped by 99 percent since 1988, and the world stands on the
threshold of eradicating the disease; and
Whereas, as of June 2025, Rotary members have contributed more than 2.6 billion dollars and
countless volunteer hours to the fight to End Polio Now, and along with our partners, immunize
over 400 million children every year; and
Whereas, these efforts are providing much-needed operational support, medical personnel,
laboratory equipment, and education materials for health workers and parents; and
Whereas, Rotary clubs in Rohnert Park and throughout the world have sponsored service
projects to address issues such as poverty, health, hunger, illiteracy, and the eradication of polio
worldwide.
Now, Therefore, be it Proclaimed that I, Gerard Giudice, as Mayor of the City of
Rohnert Park, do hereby proclaim October 24, 2025 as Polio Awareness Day in Rohnert Park.
Duly and Regularly Proclaimed this 14th day of October 2025.

Item 4.C.
From:
To:Public Comment
Subject:Water rate increase.
Date:Saturday, October 11, 2025 8:02:57 AM
EXTERNAL EMAIL
Dear Mayor and Members of the Rohnert Park City Council,
I am writing to formally express my opposition to the proposed water rate increase currently
under consideration. As a resident of Rohnert Park, I understand the importance of
maintaining and upgrading our water infrastructure. However, I believe this proposed increase
places an unfair financial burden on residents at a time when many are already struggling with
the rising cost of living.
Many families in our community, including mine, are doing everything possible to conserve
water and manage household expenses responsibly. Raising water rates—especially during
uncertain economic times—disproportionately impacts low- and fixed-income households,
seniors, and renters. For many, every dollar counts, and an increase in essential utility costs
could force difficult decisions.
Before implementing a rate hike, I urge the Council to:
Conduct a more thorough review of cost-saving alternatives within the water
department;
Increase transparency about how existing funds are being allocated and spent;
Consider a more gradual or tiered rate structure that protects those with lower water
usage or limited incomes;
Explore grant opportunities or state/federal funding to support infrastructure needs
without relying solely on ratepayer increases.
I appreciate the City’s efforts to plan for long-term sustainability, but I believe there are more
equitable and responsible ways to address water system challenges. Please do not approve the
proposed rate increase without further community engagement and analysis of its financial
impact.
Thank you for your time, service, and consideration of this important issue.
Warm Regards,
Hilary Gruendle
Rohnert Park Resident in w section.

Equipment Over $5,000 to the new CIP2412 Project, and award the Construction Contract to

The City Council is required to review the status of this emergency project at each regular meeting
of the City Council and vote to authorize the continuation of Resolution 2024-051 until the
emergency action is completed.
Staff previously reported that electrical upgrades were needed at all City radio antenna sites. The
City contracted with CM Taylor, Inc. to complete the electrical work and with Dailey Wells to
reinforce the cell tower base at Magnolia Park due to a structural issue. Building permits for this
work were secured, and the electrical upgrades at the Pump Station, Fire Station No. 2, and
Magnolia Park are now complete. The structural modifications at Magnolia Park have also been
successfully finished.
Since the last report presented to the Council on September 23, 2025, Dailey Wells installed the 2
remaining dispatch consoles at Public Safety Main and has switched over operations the newly
installed radio system. Dailey Wells and Public Safety staff are working on implementation of the
new system.

ITEM NO. 7.D.
4902-4569-5083 v2 1
Meeting Date: October 14, 2025
Department: Public Works
Submitted By: Mark Hendersen, Acting Public Works Director
Prepared By: Mark Hendersen, Acting Public Works Director
Agenda Title: By Minute Order, Authorize the Purchase of a Sewer Line Camera
Inspection Vehicle for Public Works not to exceed $500,000; Authorize the
City Manager to Execute Purchase Documentation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Minute Order, authorize the purchase of a RapidView IBAK Sewer Line Camera Inspection
Vehicle through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchase Program (Contract #120721-RVL) in an amount
not to exceed $500,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute purchase documentation.
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2025/26 budget includes funding for the purchase of a sewer line camera inspection vehicle for
the Public Works Department, Sewer Division.
As noted in the City’s recent sewer system audit, the City has not inspected its entire sewer system and
does not operate a comprehensive closed-circuit television (CCTV) pipeline inspection program. Such
a program is now required under the Statewide Sanitary Sewer Systems General Order 2022-0103-
DWQ, effective June 5, 2023.
Previously, the City had contracted with third parties for the use of sewer line camera inspection
vehicles to collect data on the conditions of its sewer pipes. Now, staff recommends that the City
purchase its own vehicle, both to ensure compliance with the California State Board requirements and
to save costs by avoiding third-party contracts. The inspection vehicle is essential to:
• Perform proactive inspection of sewer mains;
• Identify inflow and infiltration issues;
• Support preventive maintenance and capital improvement planning; and
• Reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows and environmental impacts.
ANALYSIS:
The purchase of a dedicated sewer line camera inspection vehicle represents a proactive investment in
the City’s sewer infrastructure.
Key Benefits:
• Efficient Infrastructure Maintenance – Enables timely inspections, improves asset
management, and reduces emergency response costs.

• Public Health and Safety – Assists in preventing sanitary sewer overflows and protecting
environmental quality.
• Support for Growth – Provides modern technology to manage expanding infrastructure and
meet increasing service demands.
• Cost-Effective Asset Management – Eliminates recurring contractor expenses, enables in-
house scheduling, and integrates directly with existing maintenance programs.
• Environmental Stewardship – Locates inflow/infiltration sources, reducing unnecessary
stormwater treatment costs.
Procurement Process:
The unit will be procured through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (Contract
#120721-RVL). Cooperative purchasing provides competitively bid pricing, streamlines procurement,
and ensures compliance with City purchasing policy.
Pursuant to Contract #120721-RVL, the City will obtain the vehicle after submitting a purchase order
directly to Municipal Maintenance Equipment (Sacramento, CA), RapidView’s authorized
Northern California dealer for this equipment.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)” because
it is an information collection project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 concerning data
collection and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an
environmental resource. In the alternative, if the exemption does not apply, this action is not a “project”
within the meaning of Public Resource Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL GOALS/PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
Planning and Infrastructure: Ensuring continued sewer service to our residents, through repair and
maintenance of the City’s sewer system.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends purchasing a new sewer line camera inspection
vehicle to ensure that the City meets State regulations as well as monitoring the City’s sewer
system needs. It is beneficial for City staff to have more control of these services because they
can be scheduled as needed, even the same day for emergencies. This strategy also offers better
integration with the City’s operation and maintenance activities.
2. Alternative: City could continue to operate without the inspection vehicle and contract the
services. Staff does not recommend this option due to the expense of services compared to City
staff.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The purchase of a sewer line inspection van, budgeted in FY 2025/26, will be funded by the City’s Sewer
Utility Fund which has $500,000 budgeted for this purchase (34204710-81550). The requested not-to-
exceed amount of $500,000 covers any unforeseen costs in equipment, taxes or delivery fees.

Agenda Title: Adopt a Resolution to Reject All Bids for the Benicia Park Concession Stand
Renovation Project, Authorize Staff to Rebid the Project Utilizing the
CUPCCAA Informal Bid Process, and Find the Project Exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction)
(14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15301 And 15302)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution to reject all bids for the Benicia Park Concession Stand Renovation Project
(“Project”), Authorize Staff to Rebid the Project Utilizing the CUPCCAA Informal Bid Process, and
Find the Project Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) (14 Cal.
Code Regs. §§ 15301 And 15302).
BACKGROUND:
On July 22, 2024, the Benicia Park Concession Stand, located at 7471 Bernice Avenue was subject to
arson. This caused fire and smoke damage to the concession building interior, concession window,
scoreboard controller, and other miscellaneous items belonging to the user group, Cal Ripken, inside
the concession area beyond repair.
Staff worked with the City’s Risk Manager to file and process an insurance claim for the damages.
Additionally, Cal Ripken sought reimbursement for damages to their belongings. While processing
both insurance claims it was found the original scoreboard manufacturer no longer provided repairs or
replacement to the scoreboard control parts. Cal Ripken was successful in seeking reimbursement from
their insurance company for a new scoreboard and controls and will donate this to the City.
Upon approval from the City’s insurance adjuster, McLarens, to proceed with the necessary repairs,
and installation of the donated scoreboard, the City contracted with Strata ap (Architect) for design of
the Benicia Park Concession Stand Renovation Project.
On March 14, 2025, a tree branch fell on the concession building roof during a heavy storm. An
additional claim for the roof damages was processed and reroofing the concession building was added
to the Project’s scope of work and design.

ANALYSIS:
Bid Analysis:
The City’s bidding procedures for Public Works projects operate under the California Uniform Public
Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA), Public Contract Code Sections 22000-22050. In
accordance with the City’s bidding requirements, staff posted and published an Invitation to Bidders on
August 22, 2025 and August 29, 2025. On August 28, 2025 a mandatory walk through of the Project
was held. On September 10, 2025, the sealed bids were publicly opened. The City received eight (8)
bids, as listed below in Table 1.
Table 1 – Bid Opening Results for the Benicia Park Concession Stand Renovation Project
Rank Contractor Base Bid Amount
1 August-Jaye, Inc. $193,500.00
2 DMR Builders $199,500.00
3 NG Builder Company $204,528.42
4 Cestarollo Construction LLC $217,685.00
5 FRC, Inc. $240,000.00
6 SDM Construction $248,600.00
7 CWS Construction Group $264,999.00
8 Ridgeview Builders, Inc. $284,000.00
Bid Protest:
In accordance with Section 3.2 of the City’s Standard Specifications, the City received a bid protest from
DMR Builders, stating August-Jaye Inc., did not list a hazardous materials abatement subcontractor on
their List of Subcontractors as required by the Project’s Technical Specification Section 024119
Selective Demolition 1.5 B. Hazardous Materials stating: Hazardous materials are present in
buildings and structures to be selectively demolished. General Contractor to coordinate demolition
activities with hazardous material abatement.
City staff completed a hazardous material survey and no hazardous materials were found at the Project
site. This was an inadvertent error in writing of the specifications from the Project’s Architect.
Bid Recommendation:
Staff consulted with the City Attorney’s office and due to the discovered discrepancy in the Project
Specifications affecting the bidder’s scope of work and bid price, staff is recommending the City Council
reject all bids. Upon the Council’s approval, staff will work with the Architect to amend the Project
Specifications and rebid the project.
Because the bid prices received were competitive and within the CUPCCAA informal bidding threshold,
staff intend to rebid the project, award the contract under the City Manager’s signing authority, and seek
authority from the City Council for the City Engineer to approve the revised plans and specifications for
the Project. Therefore, impacts to the project schedule are not anticipated.
ITEM NO. 7.E.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The Project involves replacement of the roof, scoreboard, and renovations to the concession building
interior located at 7471 Bernice Avenue. Therefore, the Project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or
Reconstruction) of CEQA Guidelines. (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15301, 15302).
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL GOALS/PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
The Benicia Park Concession Stand Renovation Project aligns with the following City Council multi-
year broad goals and strategic plan priorities:
• Planning and Infrastructure: The Benicia Park Concession Stand Renovation Project assists in
maintaining City’s existing infrastructure in a safe and proactive manner so that the community
can continue to utilize these amazing facilities.
• Community Quality of Life: By offering community enrichment opportunities and fostering an
equitable high quality of life.
• Focus on Infrastructure and beautification: By maintaining facilities that contribute to a vibrant
community.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution rejecting all
bids. This action will release all bid bonds, allow staff to rebid the Project, and complete the
Project in time for Cal Ripken’s start of the season in February.
2. Alternative: The City Council could decide not to reject all bids. This option is not
recommended as bidders could continue to protest which would delay the Project, and therefore
Cal Ripken would not be able to utilize the Concession Stand next season.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
There is no fiscal impact to rejecting all bids.

Agenda Title: Adopt a Resolution Approving the First Amendment to the Measure H Funding
Agreement Between the County of Sonoma and the City of Rohnert Park and
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Same
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park approving the First Amendment to
the Measure H Funding Agreement Between the County of Sonoma and the City of Rohnert Park and
authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
BACKGROUND:
On March 5, 2024, the voters of Sonoma County approved Measure H, “The Improved and Enhanced
Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance”,
which added Article VIII to Chapter 12 of the Sonoma County Code (“Ordinance”).
The Ordinance provides funding to achieve effective and efficient regional fire response services
throughout Sonoma County by increasing the Sonoma County sales tax rate by one-half percent (0.5%).
This increase brings the total City sales tax rate to nine and three quarters percent (9.75%).
As part of the oversight and administration of the Ordinance, Section 12-68(A) of the Ordinance requires
a funding agreement between the County of Sonoma and recipients, including the City, before any tax
proceeds are distributed.
As provided in Section 12-66(D), the allocation percentage of funds generated by the Ordinance to be
received by the City is five and one-half percent (5.5%).
On January 28, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution 2025-006 and authorized the City Manager
to execute the Measure H Funding Agreement between the County of Sonoma and City of Rohnert Park.
This agreement was put in place to allow the City to receive the Measure H funds while preparing the
calculations for the maintenance of effort requirements (MOE). We now return to provide those
calculations to be included in the agreement.
On February 11, 2025, the Board of Supervisors for the County of Sonoma authorized the County
Executed to counter-execute the Measure H Funding Agreement.
City Use of Funds
Based on the enumerated permissible use of funds outlined in Section 12-66(C) of the Ordinance, the
City proposed that First year funds be used to pay for 24-hour coverage for the shared Battalion Chief

position approved by the Council as part of the Fiscal Year 24-25 Budget, and the sales tax administrative
fee. Late in Fiscal Year 2024-25, Council approved two Public Safety Officers. The remaining funds are
being used to build reserves for any future economic downturns, capital improvements, and planned
staffing.
On June 9, 2025, Council adopted the Fiscal Year 25-26 budget which included funding for 24-hour
coverage for the shared Battalion Chief position, four (2 additional) Public Safety Officers, equipment,
training, recruitment and the sales tax administrative fee. Also included was funding for the new drone
program.
Notably, the Measure H Funding Agreement flagged the parties’ intent to execute an amendment to the
Measure H Funding Agreement prior to submission of the Annual Report to include two key figures: (1)
the City’s baseline historical general fund contribution for providing fire-related services (proportional
allocation) and (2) the City’s baseline personnel funding. (Measure H Funding Agreement, §§ 4, 5.)
Baseline Maintenance of Effort (MOE)
As provided in Section 12-65, Ordinance proceeds shall not be used to supplant the City’s historical
general fund contribution for providing fire related services. The proportional allocation to determine
maintenance of effort is City’s baseline operating budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which includes ad
valorem property taxes, parcel taxes or any other taxes and/or fees in support of the operating cost for
providing fire related services, but excludes limited term funds such as capital projects, grants, grant
matches or other one-time revenues, which will be reported on the City’s Annual Report in Exhibit A.
Based on the calculations prepared by staff, the proportional budget allocation for fire related services
for Fiscal Year 21-22 is $ 2,866,326 or 7.33%.
Baseline Personnel Funding
For the purposes of Section 12-68(A) of the Ordinance, as provided in the operating budget for Fiscal
Year 2021-2022, City’s annual existing revenues used to fund existing personnel in order to establish
the baseline for measuring compliance with the requirement that sales tax proceeds shall only be used to
pay for additional personnel will be reported on the City’s Annual Report in Exhibit A. Based on the
calculations provided by staff, the personnel expenditures for fire related services for Fiscal Year 21-22
is $ 3,038,291.
Reporting Requirements:
a. In order to ensure consistency in distribution, reporting, oversight, and administration of the
funds generated by the Ordinance as set forth in Section 12-67(B) of the Ordinance, annual
reports to the Oversight Committee shall be made by City not later than December 31st of each
year in the form attached as Exhibit A to the proposed Funding Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL GOALS/PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
The proposed action aligns with the City’s strategic goals priorities of:
• Long Term Financial Sustainability.
• Community Quality of Life.

OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Manager to
execute the First Amendment to the Funding Agreement.
2. Alternative Not Recommended: Do not authorize the City Manager to execute the First
Amendment to the Funding Agreement, and the City’s ability to receive Measure H funds will
be delayed.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
As provided in the Ordinance Section 12-65, Maintenance of Effort Requirement, Ordinance proceeds
shall not be used to supplant the City’s historical general fund contribution for providing fire related
services. The proportional allocation to determine maintenance of effort is the City’s baseline operating
budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which includes ad valorem property taxes, parcel taxes or any other
taxes and/or fees in support of the operating cost for providing fire related services but excluding limited
term funds such as capital projects, grants, grant matches or other one-time revenues.
The Measure H Ordinance Funds are held in a separate Special Revenue Fund to ensure that they are not
co-mingled with General Funds, and the that the revenues and expenditures can be budgeted and tracked
for reporting purposes, and review by the County Oversight Board.
For Fiscal Year 2024-25 the City received $2.562M based on three quarters of sales tax activity, and is
expected to receive approximately $3.30M for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The People of the County of Sonoma ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Title.
This measure shall be known and may be cited as the “Improved and
Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response
Initiative.”
SECTION 2. Findings.
Like many counties in California, Sonoma County has faced major
challenges in recent years when it comes to the critical funding needs facing fire
services as we all prepare for future wildfire and winter storms impacts. The
annual threat of both are now a reality that is not going away, and Sonoma
County Fire Chiefs and Firefighters are concerned that the current County-wide
fire service delivery structure, funding, and system structure is not enough.
While our county grows and public safety demands increase, the public we
serve needs and expects prompt, efficient and effective emergency service
everywhere at any time. Our specific concerns include that the system is not
meeting National Fire Protection Agency standards in all parts of the county.
Several service gaps exist, especially in the more rural areas where there are
currently extended response times to critical medical emergencies and vehicle
accident victims. There are also significant delays in getting an effective fire force
on scene to keep small fires from becoming major incidents.
Following the failure of Measure G on the March 2020 ballot, the Sonoma
County Fire Chiefs Association has invested significant resources into qualifying a
new initiative for the March 2024 ballot. The new initiative was written by local
firefighters and fire chiefs, who believe the measure addresses a critical need
facing Sonoma County and reflects their knowledge of the challenges and needs
for fire protection.
All funds raised by this measure would be spent by Sonoma County fire
agencies to provide fire protection and emergency response services. Strict
financial accountability provisions and annual reporting will ensure all funds are
spent properly.
The Sonoma County Fire Prevention and Response Measure would create a
regional plan based on population density, call volumes, station coverage, current
service gaps, and special hazards to advance a comprehensive long-term strategy
covering all jurisdictions.
The Sonoma County Fire Prevention and Response Measure would levy a
½ cent sales tax that would generate $60 million annually to address funding
challenges.
The Measure would increase effective firefighting force available
countywide using National Fire Protection Agency standards 1710/1720 and a
key goal of 3 local firefighters per engine.
The Measure would reduce the strain of responding outside of existing
boundaries, reduce dependence on larger fire agencies and increase the overall
Page 2 of 18
strength of the firefighting system, while improving recruitment and retention of
firefighters countywide.
The Measure would also increase capacity for local fire prevention efforts
like vegetation management.
The Sonoma County Fire Prevention and Response Measure would include
fiscal accountability protections including representation from Fire Districts
Association, Fire Chiefs Association, Taxpayers Association, Board of Supervisors
Nominees, City Mayors’ and Councilmembers’ Association Nominees, Citizen at
Large and Labor. A mandatory oversight committee would be required, and all
measure funding would be required to stay local and no funding could be taken
away by the State or reallocated for purposes other than those specified in this
measure.
SECTION 3. Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection,
Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Initiative.
Article VIII is added to Chapter 12 of the Sonoma County Code as follows:
Article VIII – The Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic
Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance.
Section 12-60. TITLE.
This Ordinance shall be known, and may be cited, as the “Improved and
Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response
Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance,” and may hereinafter be referred to as the
“Ordinance.” The County of Sonoma hereinafter shall be called the "County."
This Ordinance shall be applicable in the incorporated and unincorporated
territory of the County.
Section 12-61. SEPARATE SECTION WITH TRUE AND IMPARTIAL
STATEMENT OF FACTS IDENTIFYING THE TAX AND SPECIFIC
LIMITATIONS ON HOW THE REVENUE CAN BE SPENT.
If approved by a simple majority of County voters, this Ordinance enacts a retail
transactions and use tax in Sonoma County at the rate of one half of a cent per
dollar ($0.005) to be used only for the purposes set forth in section 12-66,
including, but not limited to, wildfire prevention, preparedness, emergency
response and vegetation management; recruitment and retention of local
firefighters; updates to essential equipment and facilities; transfer of funds
among designated local agencies or entities; implementation costs; and
countywide expenditures. The Expenditure Plan set forth in section 12-66 is
intended as a specific and legally binding and enforceable limitation on how the
proceeds of the transactions and use tax imposed by this Ordinance may be
spent. The revenues collected as a result of this tax may not be used for any
purposes not specifically identified in this Ordinance.

Section 12-63. ESTABLISHMENT OF BONDING AUTHORITY.
The cities and fire agencies are authorized to issue bonds for the purposes of
advancing the commencement of or expediting the delivery of programs or
projects in accordance with the Expenditure Plan set forth in section 12-66.
Pursuant to Government Code sections 55800 et seq., or any successor statute,
the cities and fire agencies may issue limited tax bonds, from time to time,
secured by and payable from all or any portion of the transactions and use tax
imposed by this Ordinance to finance any program or project in the Expenditure
Plan. The maximum bonded indebtedness, including issuance costs, interest,
reserve requirements, and bond insurance, if any, shall not exceed the total
amount of the proceeds anticipated to be collected by the imposition of this
transactions and use tax. All costs associated with the issuance of such bonds
shall be accounted for within the program category in which the bond proceeds
are used. The bonds may be issued any time throughout the duration of this tax.

Page 9 of 18

historical general fund(s) contribution originating from ad valorem property
taxes, parcel taxes, or any other taxes and/or fees, in support of the operating
(non-capital project or limited term expenses) cost for providing its fire related
services. The baseline for maintenance of effort purposes will be set as the
amount that each agency has for their baseline operating budget (not including
limited term funds such as capital projects, grants, grant matches, or other one-
time revenues) for fiscal year 2021-2022. If the proportional allocation provided
to any agency is materially different than the same proportion allocated in fiscal
year 2021-2022, then the jurisdiction, whether County, City of special district,
which provides funding shall be deemed to not have upheld maintenance of
effort, and will violate this section.
Section 12-66. EXPENDITURE PLAN.
A. Statement of Intent. The fundamental principle guiding this Expenditure Plan
is to provide more efficient, effective, and sustainable emergency response, and
wildfire prevention capabilities that protect the health and safety of the public in
Sonoma County. To achieve this goal, a sub-committee of the Sonoma County
Fire Chiefs developed a plan that looks beyond established boundaries to protect
the public’s safety. The ensuing Deployment Plan, which is the basis of this
Expenditure Plan, was informed by NFPA 1710/1720 National Standards, as well
an analysis of population density, call volumes, station coverage response times,
special hazard areas, and local knowledge and was developed to provide a long-
term framework for planning, funding, and implementing enhanced fire and
wildfire capabilities within Sonoma County. The goals of this Expenditure Plan
embody the lessons learned from the October 2017 fires (Tubbs, Nuns and
Pocket fires), 2019 fires (Kincade fire), and 2020 fires (Walbridge and Glass fires)
and several hundred years of experience of the local Fire Chiefs and firefighters
that informed this Expenditure Plan. The Sonoma County Fire Chiefs Association
is in support of this Ordinance as it has been developed through the guidance and
input of all Sonoma County fire agencies and will provide sustainable funding for
effective and efficient regional fire response and preparedness services
throughout Sonoma County.
B. Purposes. The Expenditure Plan for the Improved and Enhanced Local Fire
Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax
Page 10 of 18
Ordinance (the “Ordinance”) provides for investment into six program categories
which include, but are not limited to: wildfire prevention, preparedness,
emergency response and vegetation management; recruitment and retention of
local firefighters; updates to essential equipment and facilities; transfer of funds
among designated local agencies or entities; implementation costs; and
countywide expenditures. The tax proceeds must be spent for the purposes
authorized in this Expenditure Plan and may not be used for other purposes. The
revenues collected from the tax shall be used only to supplement existing services
and shall not be used to pay for existing operations. The percentage of tax being
distributed to each Agency is set forth in section 12-66(D).
C. Permissible Use of Funds. The revenues generated by the retail transactions
and use tax imposed by this Ordinance shall be allocated by Sonoma County on a
quarterly basis with additional independent oversight provided by the Oversight
Committee described in section 12-67 to ensure expenditures are consistent with
this section. Funds shall be allocated for programs and projects that do one of
the following:
1. Wildfire Prevention, Preparedness, Response, and Vegetation
Management. The addition of approximately 200 firefighters, which will
provide for more efficient, effective, and sustainable fire response,
paramedic services, and wildfire prevention and response capabilities that
protect the health and safety of Sonoma County residents, business
owners, and visitors. The sales tax will fund new regional fire inspectors
and a county-wide vegetation management crew to provide enhanced
vegetation management to prevent wildfire spread throughout the county.
Local fire agencies’ staff shall provide vegetation management services in
their jurisdictions, including parcel inspections to ensure that property
owners are complying with minimum vegetation management standards of
the County of Sonoma’s Abatement of Hazardous Vegetation and
Combustible Material ordinance or relevant ordinance (that meets the
minimum standards established by the County) within an agency’s
jurisdiction. The county-wide crew will perform vegetation management
fire prevention services that will directly mitigate hazards, reduce fuels,
reinforce evacuation routes, and construct fuel breaks.
2. Recruitment and Retention of Local Firefighters. As described above, the
sales tax will provide support for approximately 200 additional firefighters
throughout the county to protect the public’s health and safety. The
enhanced level of service will fund qualified firefighters and paramedics to
provide wildfire suppression, emergency response, and vegetation
management fire prevention services. In addition, the sales tax will go to
certain fire agencies that have specific challenges recruiting and retaining
full-time firefighters.
3. Update Essential Equipment and Facilities. The agencies that provide
fire suppression services are authorized upon the approval of their
respective legislative bodies, to use their allocation of tax proceeds to bond
for the purpose of improving and/or replacing fire facilities, equipment
and/or apparatus to increase the capacity of their respective fire
suppression agencies to respond to the fire suppression and fire prevention
needs of their respective communities including equipment and facilities
upgrades, construction and/or acquisition. An agency with municipal fire
Page 11 of 18
suppression services may issue limited tax bonds, from time to time, to
finance any program or project in accordance with this Expenditure Plan as
allowed by applicable law and as approved by their respective legislative
body, and the maximum bonded indebtedness shall not exceed the
projected 30-year distribution of their annual allocation.
4. Transfer of Funds Among Designated Local Agencies or Other Entities.
Local Agencies which receive funds allocated from the Improved and
Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster
Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance shall be permitted to enter
into an agreement with any other local agency or entity which is delivering
products and/or services which accomplish the purposes of this Ordinance.
5. Implementation Costs. In addition to the purposes set forth above,
Sonoma County is permitted to allocate funds raised by the Improved and
Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and Disaster
Response Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance to pay for expenses
incurred after the effective date of the Ordinance which relate to the
implementation of the tax, including payments necessary for the operation
of the Oversight Committee and Measure reporting set forth in section 12-
67. These expenses shall be accounted for, and any amount in excess of the
amount allocated to the County in section 12-66(D) shall be removed from
the Improved and Enhanced Local Fire Protection, Paramedic Services and
Disaster Response Transactions and Use Tax Account prior to distribution
of funds to agencies, as set forth in section 12-66(D).
6. Countywide Expenditures. Revenue allocated to the Sonoma County Fire
Chiefs Association (SCFCA) may fund Countywide Fire Service expenses.
The types of expenses to be funded include but are not limited to:
REDCOM dispatch fees (Districts and Cities) and additional capacity to
bring REDCOM to a Command Center lever of service; Lexipol fees; public
and non-profit organizations that assist with Countywide vegetation
management utilizing the adopted Community Wildfire Protection Plan;
technologies to improve and enhanced fire protection and prevention,
paramedic services, and disaster response; Red Flag and winter storm
upstaffing; Countywide recruitment and training programs; SCFCA
administrative support to ensure tax measure compliance; sustainability of
current County funding agreements for service provision; and potential
one-time gap funding to fire agencies as determined by the SCFCA. Each

SECTION 6. Conflicting Measures.
This measure is intended to be comprehensive. It is the intent of the
People of Sonoma County that, in the event this measure appears on the same
ballot as one or more measures relating to the imposition of sales and use tax, the
provisions of the other measure or measures shall be deemed in conflict with this
Page 17 of 18
measure. In the event that this measure receives a greater number of affirmative
votes, the provisions of this measure shall prevail in their entirety, and the
provisions of the other measure or measures may be implemented only to the
extent that those provisions are not in conflict with each provisions this measure.

with this measure if such conflicting measure or measures would, after
accounting for this measure’s sales and use tax imposition, impose a sales and/or
use tax in excess of the limits placed on the imposition of such taxes in Sonoma
County by the State of California. If this measure is approved by a majority of the
voters, but does not receive a greater number of affirmative votes than any other
measure or measures appearing on the same ballot regarding the imposition of
sales and use tax set forth herein and/or for the purposes of funding fire
protection and improvement, then this measure shall take effect to the extent not
in conflict with said other measure or measures.

through 15.28 of Title 15 “Buildings and Construction” of the Rohnert
Park Municipal Code to Adopt by Reference the 2025 California Building
Standards Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (Parts 2,
2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 with Local Amendments as Set Forth in Chapters 15.04
(General Provisions), 15.08 (Building Code), 15.12 (Residential Code),

Construction”
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Introduce by title only, and waive first reading of an ordinance repealing and replacing
Chapters 15.04 through 15.28 of Title 15 “Buildings and Construction” of the Rohnert
Park Municipal Code to adopt by reference the 2025 California Building Standards Code
with local amendments as set forth in Chapters 15.04 (General Provisions), 15.08
(Building Code), 15.12 (Residential Code), 15.16 (Electrical Code), 15.18 (Mechanical
Code), 15.20 (Plumbing Code), 15.22 (Energy Code), 15.24 (Existing Building Code),

from review pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality
Act; and setting a date of October 28, 2025 for the second reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations
and hereinafter “Standards”) includes the California Building, Residential, Electrical,
Mechanical, Plumbing, Energy, Fire, and Existing Building Codes and the Green
Building Standards. The Standards are maintained by the California Building Standards
Commission (Commission) which generally updates, amends and republishes the
Standards every three years. The Commission bases its updates on changes to national
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

and international “model codes”, which reflect the best current understanding of the
building industry on issues ranging from life safety to energy and water efficiency. The
Commission published its most recent update to the Standards on July 1, 2025 (the 2025
Standards). Attachment 1 provides a very brief summary of a significant change included
in 2025 Standards and a summary of the local amendments to re-adopt for the City
Council’s reference.
The City of Rohnert Park is a local jurisdiction with authority to implement and enforce
the Standards. Under state law, the 2025 Standards, as published by the Commission,
become effective to all occupancies throughout California on January 1, 2026. The
California Health and Safety Code requires the City Council to adopt the 2025 Standards
but also allows the City Council to adopt local amendments to the Standards based on
local climatic, geological or topographical conditions, which the City has done in
previous code cycles. If the City does not adopt local amendments to the 2025 Standards
by January 1, 2026, the 2025 Building Standards go into effect without any local
amendments.
Relevant to the update for this cycle, Assembly Bill (AB) 130, a budget trailer bill, was
signed into law on June 30, 2025. It became effective immediately and made significant
changes to a city or county’s ability to adopt amendments to the California Building
Standards by essentially placing a moratorium on the adoption or modification of new
state and local building standards affecting residential units. AB 130, among other
changes, amends Health and Safety Code sections 17958 and 17958.5, 17958.7, and
18941.5 to prohibit a city or county, from making changes or adopting more restrictions
(e.g., Reach Codes) to the State Building Standards applicable to residential units from
October 1, 2025 to June 1, 2031, unless one of the following conditions is met:
• The changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or
modifications previously filed by the city/county and were in effect as of
September 30, 2025;
• The Commission deems the change or modification necessary as an emergency
standard to protect health and safety;
• The changes or modifications relate to home hardening 1;
• The building standards relate to home hardening and are proposed for adoption
by a fire prevention district;
• The changes or modifications are necessary to implement a local code
amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before
June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed-fuel (i.e., electric and natural gas, etc.)
residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all-
electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction
strategy; or
1 Home hardening is generally used to describe vegetation management compliance and building materials
used to resist the intrusion of flames or embers projected by a wildland fire.
ITEM NO. 8.A.

• Where the changes or modifications are related to administrative practices, are
proposed for adoption during the time between Building Code updates, and
exclusively results in any of the following:
o Reductions in time for a local agency to issue a post-entitlement permit;
o Alterations to a local agency’s post-entitlement fee schedule;
o Modernization of, or adoption of, new permitting platforms and software
utilized by the local agency;
o Reductions in cost of internal operation for a local agency; or
o Establishment, alteration or removal of local programs related to
enforcement of building code violations or complaints alleging building
code violations 2.
The amendments that staff are proposing in the draft ordinance are consistent with and
equivalent to changes or modifications previously filed by the City with the State
Building Standards Commission in 2022 and there is no material change in regulatory
effect to the standards in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Staff is requesting that the City Council introduce an ordinance that includes the 2025
Standards with local amendments. Ordinance adoption will be considered in October,
allowing the 2025 Standards, as amended by the City, to go into effect on January 1,
2026.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Rohnert Park (City) incorporates the Building Standards Code within Chapter
15 of the Municipal Code in the following divisions:
15.04 – General Provisions
15.08 – Building Code
15.12 – Residential Code
15.16 – Electrical Code
15.18 – Mechanical Code
15.20 – Plumbing Code
15.22 – Energy Code
15.24 – Existing Building Code
15.26 – Green Building Code
15.28 – Fire Code
15.30 – Wildland-Urban Interface Code
Discussion of Local Amendments with respect to Electrical Panel Replacements: The
City’s local amendments (RPMC 15.16.010 Section 230.79(E)) state that the building
official may require the replacement of Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels under certain
2 Health & S C § 17958(b)(1-6), 17958.5(c)(1-6) and 17958.7(c)(1-6).
ITEM NO. 8.A.
4
circumstances, including when a secondary power source, such as solar power, is
added. This local amendment was adopted because these types of panels have a
documented history of causing electrical fires and the City’s goal is to ensure that
residents have a safe electrical system when a secondary source of power is installed.
Until recently, the electrical panel change out was a relatively minor construction
activity that consisted of removing the older panel and installing a new panel in its
place. Recent changes to PG&E’s design standards for electrical panel location, with
respect to gas meter location, have created a situation where replacing the panel could
result in the need to reinstall the electrical service from the street to home in order to
create more distance between the electrical and gas services, a much more expensive
endeavor that is not the intent of the City’s local amendment.
Staff is recommending that Council retain the local the amendment, which provides the
building official with some discretion. Staff will be complimenting this code section
with a building division policy that allows the applicant’s electrician to certify that the
Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels have been tested and are safe. Panels that test as safe
would not need to replaced but the City would retain the authority to require the
replacement of truly dangerous panels for the benefit of all involved.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND CITY COUNCIL PRIORITY ALIGNMENT:
The adoption, implementation and enforcement of the 2024 Standards with local amendments
supports the City Council goals of assuring Quality of Life and Planning and Infrastructure.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15061(b) (3), the
proposed ordinance is not a project subject to CEQA in that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
None. Adopting the 2025 Building Standards with the City’s local amendments meets the
requirements of state law.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The fiscal impact of adopting the 2025 Standards with the proposed local amendments will be
minimal.

WHEREAS, on July 1, 2025, the California Building Standards Commission published
the 2025 California Building Standards Code;
WHEREAS, on January 1, 2026, the building standards and regulations contained in the
2025 California Building Standards Code become effective and applicable throughout the State
of California;
WHEREAS, local amendments may be adopted by the City of Rohnert Park to the
California Building Standards Code pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code due to

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK,
CALIFORNIA, does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
The City Council finds that:
A. The City is authorized and required to adopt the California Building Standards Code
by reference pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 17922 and 17958, and has
taken all actions required to do so pursuant to Government Code Section 50022. 2.
B. In accordance with CEQA Section 15061(b) (3), this is not a project subject to CEQA
in that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect
on the environment.
C. This ordinance is enacted pursuant to Health & Safety Code Sections 17958. 5 and
17958. 7 and Government Code Section 50022. 2 to make local amendments to the
California Building Standards Code.
Ordinance No. 989
Page 2 of 22
D. The Council has reviewed the local amendments set forth herein and finds that they
are consistent with and equivalent to changes or modifications previously filed by the
City of Rohnert Park with the State Building Standards Commission in 2022 and
there is no material change in regulatory effect to the standards in effect in the City of
Rohnert Park as of September 30, 2025. Additionally, certain changes or
modifications previously filed relate to home hardening and continue to be necessary
due to local climatic, geologic or topographical conditions, as described below.
E. As required Health and Safety Code 17958.7(a), the amendments to the California
Building Standards Code adopted by this ordinance and as described in Chapters 15.
08 through 15. 28 are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and
welfare due to the local climatic, geologic or topographical conditions as described in
findings 1 through 10 below.
1. Modification of California Building Code (CBC) Section 105.2 is necessary
because the City' s topographic development pattern of residential parcels on
relatively small lots necessitates the ability for some property owners to install
screening fences in order to preserve private enjoyment of their property.
2. Modification to CBC Sections 107.2.9 and 110.7 are necessary because of the
City' s topographic development pattern utilizing master home plans. The ability
of the building official to secure photographic evidence and mitigate concealed
construction is necessary to ensure safe and consistent implementation of
approved plans.
3. Modification of CBC Section 420.17 and 1503.6 is necessary because the City is
underlain by highly expansive soils with shrink- swell potential that can damage
building foundations and concrete slabs. Rain gutters, downspouts, rain leaders,
splash blocks and concrete landings all provide a means to keep rainwater away
from foundations and slabs and minimize the potential for the underlying
expansive soils to damage structures.
4. Modification of CBC Section 502 and California Fire Code (CFC) Sections 505.1,
505.1.1, 505.1.2, and 505.1.3 is necessary because the City's pattern of thick
seasonal fog coupled with its many street cul-de-sacs and multi-family complexes
and the distance between emergency response facilities require street numbers on
buildings to be clearly visible at all hours in order to support emergency response.
5. Modification of CBC Section 1705.13.10 is necessary because the City is located
near several known, active seismic faults that have a history of and the potential
to cause severe ground movement, ground shaking, ground failure, land siding,
lateral spreading and ground liquefaction. The design features that allow buildings
to resist seismic damage are highly specialized and require special inspection
expertise to ensure the design is implemented properly.
6. Modification of CBC Sections 1808.6.2.1 and 1907.2 is necessary' because The
City is underlain by highly expansive soils and a high groundwater table,
subjecting concrete slabs to locally unique foundation conditions. Minimum
standards for engineered subgrade and slab reinforcement allow concrete slabs to
better resist these soil conditions.
7. Modification of California Residential Code(CRC) Section R309.2.2, and CFC
Sections 101.6, 202, 901.7, 902.1, 903.2, 903.2.22-24, 903.3, 903.3.1.1,
903.3.1.1.1, 903.3.1.2, 903.3.1.3.1, 903.4.2, 907.2, 907.2.8.1, is necessary because
Ordinance No. 989
Page 3 of 22
the City is bisected by Highway 101 and the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit
(SMART) rail corridor. The railroad and freeway create barriers, which obstruct
traffic patterns and delay response time for fire equipment. In addition, the City is
located near several active seismic faults that have a history of and the potential to
cause severe ground movement, ground shaking, ground failure, land siding,
lateral spreading and ground liquefaction, which can damage infrastructure and
delay response time. This creates the need for conservatively designed fire alarm
and sprinkler systems which ensure rapid notice to emergency responders and
ability to contain and suppress fires with sprinklers onsite. These conditions also
create a need to ensure that emergency responders are not consistently called to
false alarms.
8. Modification of CRC Sections R408.1, R806.1, and R902.1 and CFC Sections
304.1.3, 304.1.3.1, 304.1.3.2, 308.1.11 , 507.5.1, 507.5.1.1, Appendix B Section
B105.1, Section B105.2, including Table B105.2, Appendix C Section C103.3,
Appendix D Sections D103.2, D103.3, D103.4, D103.6, D106.1 and D106.2 is
necessary because the City located at near the urban wildland interface and
bordered on all sides by undeveloped community separator lands, which are
crossed by overhead power lines. During the summer and fall months the
combination of dry vegetation and seasonally high winds and temperatures have
historically and are expected to continue to produce conditions where wildfires
can occur. Modifications to the CRC to improve the fire resistance of residential
construction help protect homes against embers from wildfires. Modifications to
the CFC to ensure neighborhood vegetation is cleared helps minimize the spread
of wildfires. Modifications to the CFD to increase the accessibility of fire fighting
infrastructure including on and offsite fire hydrants, increased water flow and
pressure and streets that can accommodate fire fighting equipment support the
city' s ability to fight wildfire.
9. Modification of California Electrical Code (CEC) Section 230.79(E) is necessary
because the City is bisected by Highway 101 and the SMART rail corridor. The
railroad and freeway create barriers, which obstruct traffic patterns. Upgrading
ageing and undersized electrical systems, when appropriately triggered,
minimizes the risk of fire, which is exacerbated by the local conditions
topographic conditions that delay emergency response.
10. Modification of California Plumbing Code (CPC) Sections 301.2.6 and 604.1 is
necessary because the soils within the City are considered acidic, creating a
deleterious effect on metal piping placed underground.
While the adoption of the amendments to the California Building Standards Code and the
adoption of Ordinances may not prevent the incidence of fire or potential building hazards, it is
noted the implementation of these various amendments will reduce the severity and potential loss
of life and loss of property.
The following revisions to the Rohnert Park Municipal Code are made based on the findings set
forth above and the record of proceedings for consideration of this Ordinance.

CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION
INFORMATION BULLETIN 25-03
DATE: September 22, 2025
TO: LOCAL BUILDING DEPARTMENTS
STATE AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS
CBSC INTERESTED PARTIES
SUBJECT: AB 130 (Chapter 22, Statutes of 2025) and Impact on Process for
Local Amendments to Title 24, California Building Standards
Code
The purpose of this information bulletin is to alert local building departments, state
agencies and departments, and interested parties of new requirements in the California
Health & Safety Code (HSC) relating to changes in laws governing the Title 24 building
standard local amendment process.
Background
Budget trailer bill AB 130 (Chapter 22, Statutes of 2025, see Sections 29-31 and 37-42
of the bill) became effective June 30, 2025, and enacted a moratorium on state and
local building standards affecting residential units beginning October 1, 2025, and
ending June 1, 2031. This bulletin seeks to provide local agencies guidance on these
new laws now in effect.
Residential Units Not Defined
The scope of the moratorium on residential building standards enacted by AB 130
encompasses “residential units,” which is currently not defined in statute and regulation.
As such, the commission interprets this to mean all Residential Group R occupancies,
as listed in Section 310 of the California Building Code (Part 2 of Title 24), as well as
detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses, as listed in the California
Residential Code (Part 2.5 of Title 24). Specifically, the residential Group R occupancies
listed in Section 310 of the CBC would include Residential Groups R-1, R-2, R-2.1, R-
2.2, R-3, R-3.1, and R-4.
Page 2 of 4
6-year Moratorium on Local Amendments Affecting Residential Units
AB 130 amends Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7, and
18941.5 relative to local amendments to Title 24, and prohibits cities and counties from
making changes that are applicable to residential units, unless one of the following
conditions is met:
(1) The changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or
modifications that were previously filed by the governing body of the city or county and
were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
The commission interprets this to mean a local amendment applicable to residential
units being carried forward from a previously filed ordinance (i.e., an ordinance
amending the 2022 edition of Title 24) with no material change in regulatory effect to the
existing standards.
(2) The commission deems those changes or modifications necessary as emergency
standards to protect health and safety.
The commission interprets this to mean a local ordinance that has been adopted on an
emergency and/or urgency basis in order to protect the health and safety of the
regulated community, and necessitates an emergency/urgency finding or justification be
included with the ordinance along with other findings required by state law.
(3) The changes or modifications relate to home hardening.
The term “home hardening” is not defined in statute or regulation. As such, the
commission interprets this to mean local amendments to the California Wildland-Urban
Interface Code (Part 7 of Title 24). For local amendments that pertain to home
hardening outside of Part 7, the commission may review in consultation with the Office
of the State Fire Marshal.
(4) The building standards relate to home hardening and are proposed for adoption by a
fire protection district pursuant to Section 13869.7.
As a reminder, local amendments made by fire protection districts are required to be
filed with the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), not the
California Building Standards Commission. If such ordinances are submitted to the
commission, they will be referred to HCD for consideration.
(5) The changes or modifications are necessary to implement a local code amendment
that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and
that permits mixed-fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also
incentivizing all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions
reduction strategy.
The commission strongly recommends local agencies include the following information
in their filed ordinance:
Page 3 of 4
1. Clearly identify the adopted greenhouse gas reduction strategy and general
plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and
2. Clearly explain how the ordinance incentivizes all-electric construction and
complies with federal law in permitting mixed-fuel residential construction.
The commission, in determining that a modification or change meets any of the criteria
contained in paragraphs (1) through (5) above, may rely on a statement by the local
agency to that effect.
The commission strongly recommends local agencies include a statement that cites the
specific exception(s) from AB 130 that authorize all code changes affecting residential
units contained within the filed ordinance. The commission will review this statement,
along with reviewing the details of each local ordinance submitted to ensure compliance
with these new laws.
Local Administrative Standards
The definition of “Building Standard” in Health and Safety Code Section 18909 includes
the following statement relative to administrative standards:
Health and Safety Code Section 18909(c) “Building standard” includes a regulation or
rule relating to the implementation or enforcement of a building standard not otherwise
governed by statute, but does not include the adoption of procedural ordinances by a
city or other public agency relating to civil, administrative, or criminal procedures and
remedies available for enforcing code violations.”
While the definition of “Building Standard” does not include specified administrative
provisions, AB 130 authorizes changes or modifications related to administrative
practices that are proposed for adoption during the intervening period pursuant to
Section 18942, and exclusively result in any of the following:
(A) Reductions in time for a local agency to issue a postentitlement permit.
(B) Alterations to a local agency’s postentitlement fee schedule.
(C) Modernization of, or adoption of, new permitting platforms and software utilized by
the local agency.
(D) Reductions in cost of internal operation for a local agency.
(E) Establishment, alteration, or removal of local programs related to enforcement of
building code violations or complaints alleging building code violations.
These administrative changes or modifications made may be filed with the commission
and shall be reviewed by the commission, in consultation with the Department of
Housing and Community Development, within 60 days of receipt, if requested by the
local agency.
Page 4 of 4
The commission interprets this to mean that a local jurisdiction is not required to include
these or other administrative provisions which are not building standards within their
ordinance, but they may if they choose. However, the commission and department will
only review the administrative provisions specified in paragraphs (A) through (E) above
if formally requested by the local agency, and requires the local agency to include this
formal request in the cover letter or transmission email included with the ordinance
filing.
Model Home Design Exception
AB 130 also amended Health and Safety Code 18938.5 relative to model home
designs. Notwithstanding other laws, AB 130 authorizes that “the state and local
building standards in effect at the time an application for a building permit is submitted,
for a residential dwelling based on a model home design approved under those
standards, shall apply to all future residential dwellings based on that approved model
home design in the same jurisdiction, unless the model home design substantially
changes at a later date or 10 years have passed since the building permit for the model
home design was approved by the jurisdiction, whichever comes first.”
The commission notes this new provision does not directly affect the programs, policies
and laws under its purview (e.g., review/processing of state and local amendments,
administration of the building standard code adoption process, codification and
publication of Title 24, etc.). Therefore, the commission is unable to provide guidance
on this statute and recommends local jurisdictions consult with their legal counsel
and/or relevant industry associations.
Next Steps
In most cases, the commission cannot interpret statute on behalf of local authorities
having jurisdiction. Due to the breadth and scope of AB 130 and its impact on the Title
24 local amendment process, the commission’s goal is to provide uniform guidance to
local jurisdictions and the regulated community and will continue to do so in the months
ahead. Once again, the commission recommends that local jurisdictions consult with
their legal counsel when implementing these new laws.
