PROPOSITION 218 PROTEST HEARING - WATER RATE INCREASES Mayor Jones introduced this item and asked the City Clerk to explain the requirements of Proposition 218, which governs this Public Hearing and the proposed adoption of the rates and charges. The City Clerk indicated that the Public Hearing was set in compliance with Proposition 218 and that the City mailed a notice of this Public Hearing to any record owner whose property is subject to the imposition of the proposed rates and charges and any tenant who is directly liable for the payment of such rates and charges. The date and time of the hearing was set not less than 45 days after the City mailed the notices. May 27, 2025 Page 2 of 7 City Council Minutes of a Regular Meeting

The City Clerk further explained that the purpose of the Public Hearing is for the City Council to hear all oral testimony and consider all written protests concerning the proposed rate increases. The Public Hearing is also held to determine whether there is a majority protest to the proposed rates and whether to proceed with the adoption of the proposed rates. Property owners and tenants were not required to provide oral testimony at this hearing, written protests submitted directly to the City Clerk indicating opposition to the proposed rate increases were accepted. In order for a protest to be counted, the protest must be submitted in writing prior to the close of the Public Hearing. The Public Hearing will be closed after the City Council has heard and considered all oral testimony. Further, in order to be counted, the protest must be in writing, state it is in opposition to the rate increase, include the location of the identified parcel (by address or assessor’s parcel number), and include the name and signature of the person submitting the written protest. Any protest submitted by email or other electronic means was not accepted as a formal written protest. The City Clerk further indicated that if written protests to the proposed rate increases are presented by a majority of the owners of the identified parcels upon which the charges are to be imposed or tenants directly liable for the payment of the charges, the City Council may not impose the rate increases. If there is no majority protest, the City Council may impose the rate increases. Pursuant to State law governing Proposition 218, in determining whether a majority protest exists, only one written protest per parcel may be counted. In addition, any member of the public may submit a written legal objection prior to the close of the public comment portion of tonight’s public hearing. In order to be valid, the objection must specify the grounds for alleging the City’s noncompliance with Proposition 218, provide the location of the identified parcel (street address or assessor’s parcel number), and include the individual's name and signature. Failure to submit a written objection that meets these criteria prior to the close of the public comment portion of the public hearing may prevent bringing a legal challenge in the future. Mayor Jones indicated that the Public Hearing will be conducted in the following manner: staff will first provide a presentation explaining the proposed rate increases; after the presentation, the City Council will open the Public Hearing for any person wishing to speak on this item; and after all testimony has been heard and all valid legal objections have been submitted, the City Council will close the Public Hearing and have a short recess, if needed, to determine if a majority protest to the proposed rates increases has been received (only those written objections and protests submitted prior to the close of the Public Hearing will be counted). Mayor Jones indicated that, to facilitate the discussion, questions from speakers will be acknowledged after the close of the Public Hearing. Public Works Director/City Engineer Thomas Bekele provided a presentation on May 27, 2025 Page 3 of 7 City Council Minutes of a Regular Meeting

The Public Hearing was opened at 7:26 p.m. Abraham Chira and Julianne Nachtrab, Signal Hill home owners/tenants, spoke in opposition to the proposed water services fees. Before closing the Public Hearing, Mayor Jones offered anyone who would like to submit or withdraw a written protest the opporunity to do so. No additional written protests were submitted and no legal objections were received, so additional time was not need to respond. The public hearing was closed at 7:33 p.m. The City Clerk reported that, prior to the close of the Public Hearing, five written protests were received. The City Clerk further reported that a majority protest does not exist to the proposed rates for the water service charges. The City Council proceeded to discuss the proposed rates for the water services charges and clarified that the rates are not cumulative. The City Council also responded to questions surrounding water conservation and the associated rates. Council Member Honeycutt acknowledged Mr. Chira for his involvement in this process. In response to a question from Council Member Copeland, staff provided brief information about the program for economic assistance for lower income residents. Vice Mayor Hansen reiterated the process for the consideration of revising water service fees, which began many months ago. Mayor Jones indicated that careful consideration has been given to these fees to determine the best path forward. The City Council indicated that all options were weighed and that this decision is not taken lightly; all Council Members pay the same fees as residents.

City Council Regular May 27, 2025 (11) PUBLIC HEARINGS a. PROPOSITION 218 PROTEST HEARING - WATER RATE INCREASES Summary: The 2023-2028 City of Signal Hill Strategic Plan identifies the update of the Water Master Plan (WMP) and Water Rate Study (RS) as key initiatives for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025. On December 12, 2023, the City Council executed a professional services agreement and directed staff to complete the WMP and RS updates. The WMP provides a detailed assessment of the City’s water system, evaluates current and projected supply and demand, and outlines a five-year capital improvement plan. The RS establishes a five-year tiered rate structure to generate sufficient revenue for operations, capital projects, and debt service. Over the past 18 months, staff has presented updates on the WMP and RS, including proposed rate adjustment options, during the Subcommittee meeting, multiple City Council meetings, and community workshops. These efforts ensured transparency and provided opportunities for public input and City Council feedback. On March 25, 2025, following the completion of the WMP and RS, receipt of public feedback, and a thorough review process, the City Council directed staff to initiate a Proposition 218 Public Hearing process to consider the recommended self-funded rate adjustment option, with the hearing scheduled for May 27, 2025. The proposed new rate structure includes annual rate adjustments of 15% for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, 14% for Fiscal Years 2027-2028 and 2028-2029, and 10% in FY 2029-2030. Staff is requesting that the City Council receive, file, and adopt the final Water Master Plan and receive and file the Water Rate Study reports. The RS document has been available for public review on the City’s website since April 3, 2025. In addition, during tonight’s meeting, the City Council will conduct a Proposition 218 Public Hearing to consider the proposed water rates and record property owner protests received during the 45-day protest period. The City will receive oral comments, however, these will not be counted as formal protests unless accompanied by a written submission received prior to the close of the public hearing. After the hearing, the City Clerk will tabulate all valid written protests. If more than 50 percent of the affected property owners or customers of record submit written protests, the City Council cannot adopt the proposed rate adjustments. If the City does not receive a majority protest, the City Council may proceed to adopt the proposed water rates. If the City Council adopts the new rates, they would take effect on July 1, 2025. Strategic Plan Goal(s): Goal No. 1 Financial Stability: Ensure the City’s long-term financial stability and resilience. Page 3 of 9

City Council Regular May 27, 2025 Goal No. 4 Infrastructure: Maintain and improve the City’s physical infrastructure, water system, and recreational spaces. Goal No. 5 High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services. Recommendation: 1. Receive, file, and adopt the Water Master Plan. 2. Receive and file the Water Rate Study Report. 3. Conduct a Proposition 218 Public Hearing and 4. If a majority of the property owners or tenants of the identified parcels affected by the proposed rate increases do not submit written protests against the proposed rates, waive further reading and adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING RATES FOR WATER SERVICE FEES AND TAKING OTHER ACTIONS RELATED THERETO (12) CITY MANAGER REPORTS a. CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN AND SIGNAL HILL AMPHITHEATER PROJECT UPDATE Summary: The 2023-2028 Strategic Plan identifies the development of the Civic Center Master Plan (CCMP) as a key City objective. On August 27, 2024, the City Council adopted the CCMP, which outlines a phased approach to redeveloping the Civic Center campus. The plan designates three phases, with the building of a new amphitheater as Phase One; replacement of the existing Community & Youth Center and related amenities as Phase Two; and accessibility, park connectivity, and landscape improvements, particularly those enhancing Signal Hill Park and Jessie Nelson Circle, as Phase Three. At this same meeting, the City Council directed staff to explore the feasibility of advancing select elements of Phase Three to improve accessibility from existing parking areas to Signal Hill Park and the new amphitheater and assess opportunities for additional accessible parking and plaza design enhancements along Jessie Nelson Circle. In May 2025, staff met with individual City Council members to review the updated amphitheater design and to discuss the evolution of the process which accounted for input through community outreach, presentations to City committees, commissions, the City Council, and expert guidance from the industry consultants. The updated design includes a modified Page 4 of 9

City Council Regular May 27, 2025 scope that accounts for current and future programming needs and is appropriately scaled for the proposed use and maximizes its functional utility over time. Staff worked with John Kaliski Architects, Incorporated (JKA) to explore the modified Phase Three accessibility Improvements that could enhance pedestrian accessibility and additional accessible parking. Given the topography of Signal Hill Park, especially the elevation changes from the park to Jessie Nelson Circle, incorporating accessibility improvements from the City’s parking lots to the amphitheater requires a significant amount of grading and improvement work. While these preliminary design efforts were helpful to provide structure and scope for potential Phase Three improvements, staff recommends focusing the use of the City’s funding on the amphitheater and revisiting Phase Three at a later date. As a follow-up to the City Council direction, this report provides a status update on the Phase One amphitheater design and provides an update on specific Phase Three elements and improvements consistent with City Council’s request. Strategic Plan Goal(s): Goal No. 1: Financial Stability: Ensure the City’s long-term financial stability and resilience. Goal No. 4: Infrastructure: Maintain and improve the City’s physical infrastructure, water system, and recreational spaces. Goal No. 5: High-Functioning Government: Strengthen internal communication, recruitment, retention, systems, and processes to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of City services. Recommendation: Provide direction to advance Phase One of the Civic Center Master Plan and receive and file status update report. b. RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE ENGINEER’S REPORT AND DECLARING INTENTION TO LEVY AND COLLECT ASSESSMENTS FOR LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO.1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 Summary: The City formed the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (LLMD) in 1992 to fund the maintenance costs of common landscaped areas within the California Crown Tract.

Annually, the City Council must initiate proceedings to renew the levy and collect special assessments for the LLMD. The proposed resolutions declare the City Council's intention to levy and collect the proposed assessments, approve the Engineer's Report, and set the Public Hearing for June 24, 2025.
