STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Old City Hall HVAC System's Replacement of Two Air
Conditioning Units for $70,000 and Adopt a Related Budget
Amendment Resolution to Appropriate the Funds
Meeting Date: October 20, 2025
From: Brad Kilger, Interim City Administrator
Department: Administrative Services
Submitted by: LeeAnn McPhillips, Assistant City Administrator/HR Director
Prepared by: LeeAnn McPhillips, Assistant City Administrator/HR Director,
Walter Dunckel, Fleet and Facilities Superintendent
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
1. Provide general direction regarding high-cost repairs and maintenance for Old
City Hall; and
2. Adopt a budget amendment resolution to increase the FY26 Facilities budget by
$70,000 to cover the cost to replace two HVAC units and complete associated
installation and repairs.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Old City Hall Restaurant’s HVAC system is over 35 years old. Two of the three upstairs
HVAC units have broken down, and are not repairable. The single remaining upstairs
HVAC unit is not able to keep up with the HVAC load on its own. Because of this, the
upstairs dining areas are not currently air-conditioned.
Facilities has received a quote to have a contractor purchase and install the two units at
a cost of $35,623. With electrical modifications, drywall work, and permits, staff expects
an additional $15,000 in costs. Also, due to the age of the building and existing system
infrastructure, there may be engineering work that needs to be completed due to the
potential for changes to the structure that holds the units. If engineering work is needed,
Page 14 of 106
there could be an additional cost of up to $15,000.
For the reasons cited above, staff recommends replacing the two HVAC units at a cost
of up to $65,623 with an additional $4,377 contingency for any additional unexpected
issues. As the Council is aware, the Old City Hall building was not built for restaurant
usage and there are often unexpected facility issues.
BACKGROUND
The City owns the Old City Hall Restaurant building and leases it to the current tenant,
Old City Hall Restaurant, at a monthly rate of $7,306 or an annual lease amount of
$87,672. Last fiscal year (FY 25), the City spent $36,231 on repairs and maintenance.
So far this year (FY 26), the City has spent $18,790. The Old City Hall building was built
in 1905. The current heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment at Old
City Hall Restaurant is over 35 years old and is well beyond its useful life. Currently,
there are two inoperable HVAC units that need to be replaced in the upstairs dining
rooms.
Old City Hall Restaurant is a long-standing (13 years) restaurant in Downtown Gilroy
and is an anchor for other businesses within the downtown. Anchor businesses can
influence the local economy by drawing people to a downtown area who then spend
money at other businesses in the area. Anchors can often add significant customer
traffic and act as a hub for local vendors, employment, and a sense of community that
strengthens and adds value to the area. Old City Hall Restaurant has become more
than a typical restaurant, but is a location for many community group meetings,
community events, and private events such as weddings and other family/group
gatherings. Old City Hall Restaurant survived through the COVID-19 economy and is
considered a favorite restaurant by many local residents. However, there are costs
associated with maintaining a historic building that is leased as a restaurant.
As the Council may recall, on December 3, 2024, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was
advertised in the San Jose Mercury News requesting professional services for HVAC &
Mechanical Design Services at Old City Hall Restaurant for the replacement of the
entire HVAC system. A design firm was selected, and the design portion of the project
was brought to Council for approval on March 17, 2025. The design work for replacing
the HVAC units was not approved by the Council, because of the cost of the design
work ($144,774), and the expected cost of HVAC replacement (estimated at up to
$800,000).
Given the cost associated with the replacement of the two upstairs HVAC units that
have recently failed, the additional related costs for installation and repair work for the
new units, potential for additional engineering costs, and Council's decision in March
2025 not to move forward with the design and replacement of the full HVAC system,
staff felt it was best to bring this item to Council for direction. Also, a budget amendment
is needed if this work moves forward as funds were not included in the FY26 budget for
this significant replacement/repair.
Page 15 of 106
In addition, another issue that must also be addressed at Old City Hall is that the cast
iron sewer pipes located in several different areas of the kitchen are failing and need
replacement. About three years ago, similar sewer pipes had to be repaired in the
dining room at a cost of approximately $130,000 plus staff time to coordinate the work.
Staff is estimating that pipe work in the kitchen could be significant. A walk-through with
a plumbing company is planned for the week of October 6th.
ANALYSIS
The FY26 Old City Hall repairs to date coupled with the cost of the replacement of two
HVAC units exceeds the amount of rent collected for the fiscal year. Adding in the likely
sewer pipe replacement expenses, there is a significant cost to the facilities and or the
general fund to lease this city-owned building to Old City Hall Restaurant. It is difficult to
quantify the economic value of the Old City Hall Restaurant being an anchor in Gilroy
downtown. If the upstairs HVAC units are not replaced, it will be very difficult for the
tenant to use the upstairs portion of the building for events and other activities when air-
conditioning and/or heat is needed. This could have a significant financial impact on the
tenant and their business operations.
The current lease is in a month-to-month status at this time. Consideration should be
given to updating the lease and shifting all or some of the facility repair costs to the
tenant in exchange for a long-term lease, given the competitive monthly rent currently
being paid by the tenant. Increasing the monthly rent is another option to consider.
The City is not aware of the financial status of the Old City Hall Restaurant. Not moving
forward with the HVAC replacements, increasing the rent, or shifting the cost of repairs
to the tenant may impact this lease moving forward. Discussions with the tenant would
be necessary to obtain further information and options.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative would be to not approve moving forward with the HVAC unit
replacements and associated repairs. This is not recommended for the economic
development reasons cited above.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The fiscal impact to replace and install the two upstairs HVAC units that have failed is
up to $70,000. This work was not anticipated in the current budget. Therefore, a budget
amendment to increase the Facilities Fund (Fund 615) by $70,000 is necessary to move
forward with this work. The funds will come from the fund balance of the Facilities Fund,
which has a projected FY26 ending fund balance of $2.5 million. If the Council's
Page 16 of 106
direction is to move forward, approval of the budget amendment resolution is needed.
With the budget amendment, staff can move forward with the work as the cost falls
within the City Administrator's purchasing authority.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
N/A
NEXT STEPS
If Council directs moving forward with this work and approves the budget amendment,
staff will take the time to obtain the additional required quotes, finalize a contract for
services, and plan the work with the selected contractor to take place as soon as
reasonably possible. HVAC equipment will need to be ordered which may have some
lead time.

Replacement Program Project
Meeting Date: October 20, 2025
From: Brad Kilger, Interim City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Ryan Osenton, Project Manager
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Award a contract to McKim Corporation in the amount of $1,009,759, approve a
project contingency of $100,976, approve a total project expenditure of
$1,110,735 for the construction of the FY26 Sidewalk Replacement Program
Project (No.26-PW-299), and
2. Authorize the Interim City Administrator to execute the contract and associated
documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The FY26 Sidewalk Replacement Program Project is performing repairs/replacement at
87 locations across Gilroy, including sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveway approaches,
asphalt repair, tree removal, tree installation, and associated work. The FY26 Sidewalk
Replacement Program Project is included in the FY24-FY28 CIP as Project #800320.
The budget allotted for the FY26 Sidewalk Replacement Program Project No. 26-PW-
299 is $1,500,000.
The lowest responsive and responsible Base Bid was received from McKim Corporation
Page 20 of 106
in the amount of $1,009,759. The addition of $100,976 (10%) in contingency brings the
total Project expenditure to the amount of $1,110,735. The Project will be funded from
the Sidewalk Repair Reserve (200).
BACKGROUND
The City has had a shared-cost sidewalk replacement program since 2006. From 2006
through 2024, this program was dependent on the property owners’ ability to fund all
repairs upfront and later seek applicable reimbursements from the City, which limited
the City’s ability to implement improvements in a timely manner.
To facilitate sidewalk repair/replacement, the City Council committed funding in the FY
2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the City’s Annual Shared Cost
Sidewalk Replacement Program. Beginning in 2025, City Staff would take over
management of this program, with City Council authorizing $500,000 per year for five
years, totaling $2.5 million, with the project being funded by the Sidewalk Repair
Reserve Fund (200).
The most current iteration of the program was adopted by City Council on August 5,
2024, which moved the following responsibilities onto City Staff:
• Identification of sidewalk repair locations and additional required site repairs.
• Bid preparations for the maximum repairs possible under the available budget.
• Property owner notifications of assessed deficiencies, expected costs, and
explanation of the cost-sharing program.
• Bid issuance, contractor management, and construction schedules citywide.
• Invoicing property owners for their portion once construction repairs are
completed.
Additionally, clarifications to the program were approved by City Council on August 4,
2025, including the following:
• Allow the property owner to complete the required work on their own, subject to
following specific requirements.
• Updates to Site Prioritization to account for several different factors, as
necessary.
• Clarifications on the payment process and extension timelines.
The Cost Sharing Program is as follows:
• Sidewalk Replacement Caused by a Private Tree – 100% Property Owner Cost.
• Sidewalk Replacement Caused by a Public Tree – 50% City Cost / 50% Property
Owner Cost.
Page 21 of 106
• Private Tree Replacement – 100% Property Owner Cost.
• Public Tree Replacement – 100% City Cost.
• Curb and Gutter Replacement Caused by a Public or a Private Tree – 100% City
Cost.
• Driveway Approach Replacement – 100% Property Owner Cost.
• The City will fund 100% of all repairs without seeking cost sharing of residences
that are: 1) owner-occupied, and 2) enrolled for PG&E’s Care Program (based on
income and other public assistance eligibility and usually indicated on their PG&E
monthly statement).
The Department of Public Works maintains a list of identified/requested and confirmed
locations for sidewalk repair/replacement. Currently, this list includes more than 350
confirmed locations. Based on the Engineer’s Estimate of Cost and the available FY26
funding, staff identified 87 locations throughout the City for immediate repair, in
accordance with the City Council's adopted 2025 criteria. Locations were selected
based on multiple factors, including the severity of damage, proximity to schools, the
length of time on the list waiting for repairs, and the immediate proximity to other
locations in need of repairs that could be bundled to benefit from reduced mobilization
costs.
On August 11, 2025, a bid package was advertised for 87 locations. See below for
additional details on the bid process and results.
Mailed notices have been provided to the owners of the 87 locations and staff will work
with owners to respond to questions. Information regarding the program can also now
be found on the Public Works website.
ANALYSIS
The FY26 Sidewalk Replacement Program Project is performing repairs/replacement at
87 locations, including sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveway approaches, asphalt repair,
tree removal, tree installation, and associated work. The Engineer’s Estimate for the
project was $1,382,647.
The Project was advertised in the San Jose Mercury News and on the City’s website on
August 11, 2025. Staff conducted the bid opening on September 9, 2025, and the City
received five bids. During the course of the Bid Analysis, three bids were disqualified
and deemed not responsive. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was
deemed to be the McKim Corporation, with a total base bid of $1,009,759; this bid was
24% below the Engineer’s Estimate.
A summary of the bids is provided below.

Note: The City received two Formal Bid Protests from ASG Builders and Villalobos and
Associates. The City, in conjunction with the City Attorney's Office, has evaluated the
protests and determined that McKim Corporation is still the lowest responsible and
responsive bidder.
Page 23 of 106
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose not to award the contract to McKim Corporation. This
option is not recommended as the bidder is qualified, the funding is available and the
bid is below the City's estimate of cost.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The Total Bid is $1,009,759. Staff also recommends approval of a contingency in the
amount of $100,976 (10%) for a total construction allocation of $1,110,735. The 10%
contingency would be for potential unforeseen conditions or potential changes in the
scope of work during construction.
The Project is funded from the Sidewalk Repair Reserve (200). There are sufficient
budgetary appropriations available to accommodate this project’s expenditure. Any
remaining funds will be available to use towards future projects under this budget, as
this is expected to be an annual project fund through FY28.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Affected residents were notified in July 2025 by City Staff that their property had been
identified as needing repairs, given an estimated repair window of Fall 2025, and were
provided an initial estimate of out-of-pocket costs. The contractor is required to notify
the tenants of the property at least one week prior to construction and again at least 72
hours prior to construction taking place. The notices will include the construction start
date, daily work schedule, parking restrictions, times of driveway restriction, and any
other necessary information as approved by the City Engineer.
NEXT STEPS
Should the City Council choose to proceed with McKim Corporation, the contract will be
executed, and staff will work with the contractor to develop a final project schedule to
begin construction in November 2025. If the City Council chooses to reject all bids,
Public Works will work to rebid the project; rejection does not ensure lower bids on the
project.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Receive Preliminary Fiscal Year 2024-25 Year-end Financial
Report and Adopt a Budget Amendment Resolution.
Meeting Date: October 20, 2025
From: Brad Kilger, Interim City Administrator
Department: Finance
Submitted by: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
Prepared by: Carina Baksa, Finance Manager
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Develop a Financially Resilient Organization
RECOMMENDATION
1) Receive preliminary Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY25) year-end financial report.
2) Approve the Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Section 115
Trust contributions pursuant to the Council adopted policies.
3) Adopt a budget amendment resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is to inform the City Council about the City's Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY25)
preliminary, unaudited, year-end financial performance. The General Fund is the
primary focus of this report, as it is the primary funding source for essential City
services. All the non-general funds/ information is presented in aggregate in the latter
part of the report.
BACKGROUND
The FY25 budget was adopted on June 5, 2023, as part of the City’s FY24 and FY25
Biennial Budget development process. Activities for FY25 commenced on July 1, 2024,
and were completed on June 30, 2025. Staff provided the Council with a quarterly
financial report throughout FY25, with the third-quarter report to the Council on June 2,
2025. This report provides the preliminary FY25 year-end financial report and includes
recommended budget adjustments for FY26.

ANALYSIS
General Fund
Revenues
For FY25, the General Fund revenues totaled $69.5 million, approximately $0.4 million
below the $69.9 million amended budget. The table below provides a breakdown of
General Fund revenues by category and a comparison to the amended budget.
Sales Tax - Sales Tax is one of the General Fund’s primary sources of revenue. The
FY25 budget for sales tax revenue was $21.8 million, of which $20.5 million (94%) was
received. With the third quarter budget report, staff reported that the latest sales tax
data indicated the City's sales tax revenue was projected to come in at $20.5 million,
which is approximately $1.3 million under budget. The actual revenue came in line with
that projection.
Property Tax – Property tax is another primary source of revenue for the General Fund.
The FY25 budget for property tax revenue was $21.2 million, of which $21.4 million
(101%) was received, which includes $2.1 million from the Excess Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund (ERAF). The nominal increase was primarily in the secured
property tax revenue. It is important to note that, with FY25 actuals, property tax
revenue outpaced sales tax revenue, which has historically been the largest tax
revenue source for the City.
Utility Users Tax (UUT) - Utility taxes are assessed against the value of energy and
telecommunications, such as gas, electricity, steam, cable, and phone charges. The
current tax rates are 4.5% for telecommunications and 5% for gas and electricity. The
FY25 budget for utility user tax was $6.7 million, of which $7.0 million (104%) was
Page 37 of 106
received. The net increase was primarily in the electric segment, offset by a decline in
the gas segment of the utility user tax base.
Franchise Tax - The City receives franchise tax revenue from three franchise types,
including gas and electric, cable TV, and garbage/refuse. The FY25 budget for
franchise tax was $2.5 million, of which $2.4 million (96%) was received. The decline
was primarily in the cable TV franchise, as more subscribers are transitioning away from
standard cable to streaming services.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) - The City’s TOT revenue comes from a 9% tax on
hotel room rentals under 30 days, as well as from some of the RV parks in the City. The
FY25 budget for TOT was $2.0 million, of which $1.5 million (75%) was received,
approximately $0.5 million under budget. This is primarily a result of lower-than-
projected occupancy throughout the year.
Business License - The FY25 budget for Business License revenue was $0.8 million, of
which $0.8 million (100%) was received. The City’s outreach campaign conducted
during FY25 to businesses that were out of compliance with business license
requirements contributed to meeting the FY25 budget.
Other General Fund revenues - This category comprises departmental service charges,
general administration charges, fines and forfeitures, and other intergovernmental
revenues. The FY25 budget for this aggregate revenue category was $14.8 million, of
which $15.9 million (108%) was received. This is $1.1 million higher than the budget,
primarily due to Strike Team reimbursements to the Fire Department, increased interest
earnings, offset by declines in intergovernmental grant revenues for planning and
engineering, which are now expected to occur in FY26, when the related expenditures
are budgeted.
Expenditures
For FY25, the General Fund expenditures, including outstanding encumbrances, totaled
$75.1 million, approximately $1.3 million (1.7%) under budget. The table below
provides a breakdown of General Fund expenditures by Department or Function and a
comparison to the amended budget.
Page 38 of 106
The majority of the departments/functions were under or in line with the budget. There
were certain departments/functions, notably Administration, Fire, and Other General
Government functions, that exceeded budget primarily due to changes in City Council
compensation approved during the fiscal year, higher legal costs related to the
districting effort, Fire's Strike Team deployment overtime costs which are reimbursable,
and the writing off of a previous Council approved inter-fund loan of approximately
$241,000 to the Parking Management Fund that was established in anticipation of a
downtown parking enforcement program from the completed Downtown Parking Study,
which ultimately determined such a program is not necessary at this time. These were
offset by savings in other departments/functions within the General Fund, contributing to
the overall net year-end budgetary savings of approximately $1.3 million.
The preliminary FY25 ending General Fund balance is $30.4 million, or about 40% of
annual expenditures. The minimum required fund balance established by the Council is
30%, or about $22.5 million.
There are certain recommended budget adjustments for both General and Non-General
Funds, which are recommended to be appropriated in FY26 and are outlined further
below in the "Budget Adjustments" section of the Analysis.
Non-General Funds
Revenues
The City has approximately 60 non-general funds. The information for these funds is
Page 39 of 106
presented in the table below in aggregate, by fund type, along with a description of what
is included in these fund types. Non-General Fund revenues for FY25 totaled $83.2
million, approximately 67% of the amended budget of $124.8 million. This is $42.0
million under budget.
Special Revenues – The primary source of this fund type is intergovernmental funds,
such as tax sharing or grants from Federal, State, County, and other regional
governments. For the City of Gilroy, these Special Revenues provide funding for
transportation (Gas Taxes, Vehicle Registration, and Measure B), public safety
(Proposition 172 sales tax, Gang Prevention, and regional task forces), and community
development (CDBG and housing), among others. The FY25 budget for Special
Revenues was $13.8 million, of which $8.3 million (60%) was received. The primary
reasons for the revenue shortfall are $3.6 million from VTA Measure B funding
budgeted to be received for the 10th Street Bridge Widening project, which VTA ended
up leading the project, and therefore the City is no longer the pass-through entity for
that funding. Additionally, there was $1.5 million budgeted for the design and
construction of Lions Creek Trail, which has not begun, thus the related grant funds
were not drawn down during FY25, but will be in FY26.
Recreation – The Recreation Fund receives an annual allocation of $1.5 million from the
General Fund, in addition to the revenues it generates from charges for services and
grants related to recreation programs. The FY25 budget for Recreation revenue was
$2.3 million, of which $2.2 million (95%) was received. The shortfall was primarily
related to lower-than-budgeted facility rental fees and grant revenue.
Capital/Development Impact Funds – Revenues in the Capital and Development Impact
Funds are primarily generated by new development approvals and the required
contributions to offset infrastructure impacts. Revenue depends on the size and impact
of the development and the timing of the project; therefore, revenue is not evenly
distributed throughout the fiscal year. The FY25 budget for Capital/Development Funds
Page 40 of 106
revenue was $52.6 million of which $14.4 million (27%) was received. This major
shortfall in revenues compared to budget is due to large development projects such as
the Gilroy Ice Center Bond Proceeds ($12.5 million) which did not materialize during
FY25, developer contribution for the Santa Teresa Fire Station ($3.6 million) still
remaining to be received, and FY25 Development Impact Fees slowdown due to
declining consumer confidence driven by economic instability which has impacted Land
Development sensitive to national and international events ($17 million). Staff
reevaluated projects and timelines and included revised expectations in the new FY26
and FY27 adopted budgets.
Debt Service – Debt Service funds receive their revenue from annual property tax levies
and/or via interfund transfers from other funds and are typically aligned with the timing
of the debt service payment. The FY25 budget for Debt Service Funds revenue was
$5.0 million, of which $4.8 million (97%) was received.
Internal Service – Internal Service Funds (Information Technology (IT), Fleet, Facilities,
Worker’s Compensation, and Liability Funds) primarily receive their revenue from
charges to other departments and funds in the City. The FY25 budget for Internal
Service Funds revenue was $18.0 million of which $16.6 million (92%) was received.
The shortfall was primarily due to a reimbursement that was budgeted for a planned
Energy Conservation Measures project, which was forgone because the related
reimbursements were no longer available.
Sewer – The FY25 budget for Sewer revenue was $18.2 million, of which $19.3 million
(106%) was received. The Sewer Enterprise Fund generates its revenue from utility
user charges. The increase in revenues in this Fund is primarily due to higher user
charges and interest revenue received, offset by a decrease in reimbursement revenue
from the City of Morgan Hill for the cost-shared trunk line project design, which is now
expected to be completed in FY26.
Water – The FY25 budget for Water revenue was $14.8 million, of which $17.5 million
(118%) was received. Like the Sewer Fund, the Water Fund generates its revenues
from utility user charges, which fluctuate based on consumption levels. The increase in
revenues in this Fund is primarily due to higher interest revenue and increased revenue
from user charges.
Expenditures
For FY25, the Non-General Fund expenditures, including outstanding encumbrances,
totaled $88.4 million, approximately $72.0 million (45%) under budget. The table below
provides a breakdown of Non-General Fund expenditures by Fund and a comparison to
the amended budget.
Page 41 of 106
Special Revenues – The FY25 expenditures for Special Revenue funds totaled $13.2
million (64%) of $20.5 million budget. The underspending was primarily related to the
10th Street Bridge Widening project which VTA is leading ($3.6 million) and therefore
the City will not incur expenses for this project. Additionally, there was $1.5 million
budgeted for the design and construction of Lions Creek Trail, which has not begun,
and approximately $0.75 million for the Sidewalk Replacement program, which is still
undergoing the Bid process and will be awarded and reappropriated in FY26.
Recreation – The FY25 expenditures for Recreation totaled $1.9 million (86%) of $2.2
million budget. The underspending was primarily related to salary savings and materials
and services.
Capital/Development – The FY25 expenditures for Capital/Development funds totaled
$12.4 million (29%) of $43.3 million budget. The below target spending is primarily in
the capital outlay area, which includes large development projects such as the Gilroy
Ice Center, among others, and Impact Fee Funded City projects, which did not
commence during the FY. New revisions to the Capital Projects and timelines were
included in the new FY26 and FY27 adopted budgets.
Debt Service – The FY25 expenditures for Debt Service funds totaled $4.9 million
(100%) of $4.9 million budget. The debt service payments typically include semiannual
interest payments, and one annual principal payment. These expenses are typically fully
spent since they are budgeted and driven by debt service payment schedules.
Internal Service - The FY25 expenditures for Internal Service funds totaled $17.3 million
(74%) of $23.4 million budget. The City’s internal services funds are Information
Technology (IT), Fleet, Facilities, Equipment Outlay, Worker’s Compensation, and
Liability Funds. The underspending was primarily in the Equipment Outlay Fund (625)
which had $2.5 million appropriated for the Chestnut and Las Animas Fire Station
upgrades, projects which have been rebudgeted in FY26. Additionally, Facilities Fund
Page 42 of 106
(615) had savings of approximately $1.5 million due to projects that were canceled (Old
City Hall HVAC) or rebudgeted in FY26 along with savings in Utilities and Contractual
services.
Sewer – The FY25 expenditures for the Sewer Fund totaled $20.6 million (73%) of
$28.1 million budget. The underspending was primarily in the capital outlay
expenditures related to various large projects such as the Joint Morgan Hill Trunk Line
Repair, various sewer pipe repair and rehabilitation projects. The Utilities Department
reevaluated such capital projects and budgeted in FY26 and FY27 during the budget
development process accordingly.
Water - The FY25 expenditures for the Water Fund totaled $18.1 million (48%) of $38.1
million budget. The underspending was primarily in the capital outlay expenditures
related to various large projects that came approximately $17.2 million under budget,
most notably being the upgrade of four Water Wells. Capital projects were reevaluated
by the Utilities Department and budgeted in FY26 and FY27 during the budget
development process accordingly.
Budget Adjustments
FY25 Close-out Adjustments
• The Gilroy Police Department experienced an increase in costs for Sexual
Assault Response Team (SART) exams conducted by the County for victims of
Sexual Assault. In FY25, costs in Fund 240, Proposition 172 Sales Tax, which
funds the SART exams, came in higher by $31,600. Therefore, an adjustment of
$31,600 is recommended for Fund 240 to close out the fiscal year.
• The Worker's Compensation Fund (605) ended the year with $150,000 in higher
actual costs, as such an adjustment of $150,000 is recommended in Fund 605 to
close out the fiscal year.
FY26 Adjustments
The Gilroy Police Department received several grants during FY25, which were not fully
expended during the year and are allowed to be expended through FY26. Therefore,
the Department is recommending the following grant-related revenue and expenditure
adjustments:
• The Department received a Wellness grant ($43,529.13) from the California
Board of State and Community Corrections, of which $5,271 remains unspent
and eligible for use until December 31, 2025. This adjustment would increase
appropriations in Fund 225 – Police Grants Fund.
• The Department received a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety ($125,000), of
Page 43 of 106
which $55,096 remains unspent and eligible for use through September 30,
2025. This adjustment would increase appropriations in Fund 223 – Office of
Traffic Safety Grant Fund.
• The Department received a grant from the Department of Justice for the
purchase of respirator masks. The grant was applied for in FY24, and DOJ
notified PD in March 2025 of the award. The grant revenue was included in the
expected amount in the adopted FY26 budget; however, the appropriations for
expenditures were not included. This adjustment is to request that $17,519 be
appropriated in FY26. This adjustment would increase appropriations in Fund
225 – Police Grants Fund.
• The Department received a revised allocation from two partners in the South
County Youth Task Force. The District Attorney's Office is increasing its
allocation to the task force by $10,000, and Morgan Hill Unified School District is
decreasing its allocation to the task force by $30,000, thereby necessitating an
adjustment to the FY26 budget by decreasing a net of $20,000 from Fund 227 –
South County Youth Task Force.
The Emergency Operations Division (1001560) received a $25,000 grant in FY25 from
the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the LISTOS California CERT
Support Grant, intended to strengthen the Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) program readiness. The City of Gilroy did not spend the full grant in FY25, and
it is allowed to carry it forward to utilize in FY26. This adjustment recommends that
$17,810 be re-appropriated in FY26 in the General Fund (100), Emergency Operations
Division (Org. 1001560).
The Department of Public Works, Parks Division (Org 1005510) is recommending an
appropriation of $340,000 for FY26. There was $271,000 budget for playground
improvements for various City parks budgeted in FY25; however, the Division was
unable to get to those projects. Staff plan to accommodate those projects in FY26 and,
therefore, would like to recommend the budget be re-appropriated. Additionally, the
division is recommending $69,000 in appropriations for tree trimming work not already
included in the adopted FY26 budget. This additional work is proposed for the clean-up
of the City's gateways, specifically, Hecker Pass Highway from Santa Teresa to Burchell
Road.
Pension and OPEB Section 115 Trust Contributions
The General Fund ended the year with $1.3 million in budgetary savings. The City
Council has an existing Pension and OPEB Funding policy, which directs up to 25% of
the year-end budgetary savings to each of the Section 115 Trusts established to pre-
Page 44 of 106
fund Pension and OPEB liabilities. As such, $650,000 is recommended to be directed to
both of those trusts, at $325,000 each.
The table below details the Budget Adjustments requested for FY26. A budget
amendment resolution is included with the staff report, and it is recommended that
Council adopt the resolution.
Other Financial Update
Pension Liabilities
The City has an unfunded accrued liability (UAL) associated with its CalPERS pension
plans. As of June 30, 2024, based on the latest Actuarial Valuation reports, the City’s
UAL is $115 million. In July 2025, CalPERS announced a preliminary investment return
of 11.6% for FY25, exceeding its assumed target investment return of 6.8%. This is
expected to have a positive impact and decrease the City’s UAL to about $101 million.
The impact of the lower UAL and the related reduction in UAL payments is expected to
take effect in FY28 onwards. The City has taken prudent efforts to mitigate the impacts
of rising pension costs by establishing the Section 115 Pension Trust and making
annual contributions. As of September 30, 2024, the Trust has a balance of $5.1 million
– earning a strong annualized investment return of 9.4%. The adopted FY26 and FY27
General Fund forecast assumes that by FY29, the City will be able to leverage the
Pension Trust (withdraw) strategically, to help pay for a portion of the annual UAL
payments and lessen the burden to the City’s General Fund. With the next quarterly
budget update report, staff will update the General Fund forecast, which incorporates
this pension-related impact to the UAL, and expects the City may be in a position to
begin leveraging the Trust sooner than FY29.
Property Tax – Excess Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF)
Staff have previously provided updates to the City Council regarding Excess ERAF,
which has faced a challenge by the State Controller’s Office (SCO) pertaining to the
County’s calculation of excess ERAF. The County has filed a lawsuit against SCO
regarding the matter, and the case is pending a court trial date. Based on the recent
update provided by the County, the matter will likely extend into calendar year 2026.
The annual negative impact on local jurisdictions, Excess ERAF for FY26, is
approximately 18%. The City of Gilroy’s Excess ERAF allocation is estimated to be $2.6
million, so the potential impact is about $468,000 reduction in the Excess ERAF
Page 45 of 106
amount. The SCO’s claim includes a retroactive provision for the adjustments going
back to FY21; however, staff continue to forecast the best-case scenario that any
adjustments will be made on a going-forward basis.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no recommended alternatives to receiving the preliminary FY25 year-end
report.
The City Council could elect to not approve any single, multiple, or all the budget
adjustment requests, however staff does not recommend this option as a majority are
grant related or existing Council policy, and others are necessary for maintaining and
improving the City’s parks and landscapes.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no direct fiscal impact from receiving the preliminary FY25 year-end report. The
fiscal impact to the General and other Non-General Fund types is discussed above in
the analysis section.
Budget amendments are recommended for the General Fund, amounting to about $1.0
million, and PD Grant Funds, netting about $58,000. A related budget amendment
resolution is included and recommended for adoption.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Discussion and Direction Regarding Establishing a Reserve
Policy to Fund Parks Infrastructure
Meeting Date: October 20, 2025
From: Brad Kilger, Interim City Administrator
Department: Finance
Submitted by: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
Prepared by: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
Receive report and provide direction.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY26) and 2026-27 (FY27) biennial budget
development and Council strategic planning sessions, Council expressed a desire to
establish a reserve to fund Parks Infrastructure from the annual year-end budgetary
savings from the General Fund expenditures. This report is being brought back for
Council discussion and direction regarding that workplan item.
Generally, park infrastructure improvements are funded via private development
agreements, grants, one-time General Fund appropriations, or public facilities impact
fees. However, as grant opportunities become more limited and impact fee funds are
prioritized for other projects, one-time General Fund appropriations have become the
primary source for park infrastructure in recent years. For example, the City Council
budgeted an average of $400,000 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 and FY 2025, and the
recently adopted budget for FY26 and FY27 includes $500,000 each year for Parks
Infrastructure improvements from the General Fund.
Page 49 of 106
ANALYSIS
Historically, the City's General Fund has achieved year-end budgetary savings through
reduced expenditures, primarily due to salary savings resulting from vacancies or other
shifting priorities. The City has existing policies that currently direct up to 25% of year-
end budgetary savings from the General Fund expenditures to each of the Section 115
Trusts established to pre-fund Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB).
The remaining 50% of the budgetary savings are generally deposited back into the
General Fund balance and are available for appropriations in subsequent fiscal years.
During the FY26 and FY27 budget development process, the Council expressed a
desire to set aside a portion of the General Fund's year-end budgetary savings to
establish a reserve to fund park infrastructure. Under this concept, the City could
transfer a defined portion into a designated Parks Infrastructure Reserve at year-end.
The mechanism could be based on a fixed percentage similar to the Pension and OPEB
contributions, or a fixed dollar amount. These set-asides would accumulate over time
and serve as a funding source for future park improvements. Using FY25 General Fund
year-end budgetary savings as an example, the General Fund ended the year with $1.3
million in savings. Based on existing Council policies, 50% of the savings, or $650,000,
is first utilized for contributions to the Section 115 Trusts for Pension and OPEB (25%,
or $325,000 each). The remaining 50%, or $650,000, goes back into the General Fund
balance and is appropriated in subsequent fiscal year(s). For example, the separate
FY25 preliminary year-end financial report recommends appropriating $340,000 for park
improvements and tree management in the current FY26. Considering those to be
funded from the remaining 50%, there currently exists $310,000, or about 24%, in year-
end savings balance, which could be utilized to establish the park's infrastructure
reserves.
There are some pros and cons to establishing such a reserve, which are discussed
below for the City Council's consideration.
Pros:
• Establishing such a reserve provides a structured and ongoing approach to
financing park improvements.
• Reinforces the City's commitment to reinvesting savings into visible community
amenities.
• Provides a consistent mechanism rather than the current ad-hoc appropriations
via the annual budget development process.
• Dedicated local funds may improve the City's ability to match State and Federal
grant opportunities.
• Enhances public confidence in maintaining high-quality parks and recreation
facilities.
Cons:
Page 50 of 106
• Dedicating year-end savings limits the City's ability to redirect funds to other
competing priorities, such as capital equipment needs, facilities capital
maintenance and improvements, and unfunded liabilities, such as workers'
compensation.
• Year-end savings can fluctuate based on vacancies, operational efficiencies, or
unanticipated expenses.
• A policy framework would be needed to define eligible projects, allocation
thresholds, and spending authorization.
• Funds may be allocated before a comprehensive needs assessment is
conducted through an updated master planning process.
The City Council's work plan currently also includes an update to the Parks and Trails
master plan, which is approximately 20 years old. The master plan update will provide a
data-driven and community-informed framework for identifying current and future park
infrastructure needs, equitable distribution of resources, and potential funding
strategies. While staff agree with and fully understand the Council’s desire to establish a
dedicated source of funding for park infrastructure, such funds must be deployed
strategically and in alignment with an adopted plan. Without clear prioritization, reserves
may be spent reactively rather than supporting the most critical or community-beneficial
improvements. Given the pending master plan update, it may be prudent for the City
Council to first fund and complete this process before formally establishing the reserve.
Doing so would ensure that reserve funds are used to address the most urgent and
impactful needs identified in the updated plan. In the interim, the City has already
allocated $500,000 each in FY26 and FY27 for park improvements.
Council Consideration/Next Steps:
1. Direct staff to develop a parks Infrastructure reserve policy for consideration,
outlining parameters for funding, accumulation, and expenditure.
2. Direct staff to defer the establishment of the reserve until completion of the
planned Parks and Trails master plan update, then return to Council with a policy
aligned with the plan's recommendations.
3. Provide an alternative direction regarding the structure, timing, or purpose of
establishing such a reserve.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative options are outlined above in the analysis section.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no immediate fiscal impact of receiving this report and providing direction.
Pending Council direction, the fiscal impacts would be determined and brought back to
the City Council at a future meeting when the Policy would be considered for review and
adoption.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Environmental Services Update and Statewide Trash
Provisions
Meeting Date: October 20, 2025
From: Brad Kilger, Interim City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Mark Johnson, Environmental Programs Manager
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
Consider the information provided in this report and consider authorizing staff to:
1. Prepare and advertise a Request for Proposal for the fabrication, installation, and
a minimum of two years maintenance of 75 Certified Full Capture Systems; and
2. Authorize staff to return to Council with a budget amendment adding the project
into the FY 26 capital budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department Work Program for Fiscal Years (FY) 26 and 27 identifies the need to
create a program addressing Statewide Trash Provisions (Provisions) which require
local agencies to eliminate the discharge of litter and trash to local streams, wetlands,
and sloughs. The first compliance milestone under the Provisions requires the City to
eliminate trash discharged from 30% of Priority Land Use areas by December 2, 2026.
In 2017, the City committed to installing Trash Capture Systems under Track 1 of the
Provisions. Installation of 75 small trash capture devices will allow the City to meet its
first compliance milestone.
BACKGROUND
Page 53 of 106
For more than a decade, the City’s Environmental Services operated under an
interagency agreement with the City of Morgan Hill. While this arrangement ensured
basic compliance coverage, rotating staff resulted in limited institutional knowledge of
Gilroy's specific needs, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
To address this, Gilroy began transitioning to an in-house Environmental Services
Division beginning in September 2024, with the interagency agreement officially ending
June 30, 2025. The new division consists of one full-time Environmental Programs
Manager and one part-time Environmental Programs Coordinator funded through a joint
grant agreement with Morgan Hill, both dedicated exclusively to serving Gilroy. This
shift has given the City a consistent and knowledgeable local presence, increased
responsiveness to community needs, and ensured that environmental programs are
now fully aligned with Gilroy’s priorities.
Since the transition, Environmental Services has demonstrated clear progress through
collaborative efforts with local businesses and residents. These efforts have included
direct outreach to businesses subject to the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants
requirements (SB 1383), resulting in widespread participation in organics recycling and
edible food recovery programs as required by the State. These in-person visits not only
increased participation but also strengthened working relationships with the business
community. The division has expanded community engagement, hosting a compost
workshop on August 23 in partnership with UC Cooperative Extension, where residents
received both education and free compost. Staff also now maintain a visible presence at
local events, giving residents a direct point of contact within City Hall and building trust
in local services.
The division has secured outside grant funding including a $595,000 Metropolitan
Transportation Commission Climate Implementation Grant which will fully fund the
design and installation of electric vehicle charging stations at the Gilroy Public Library.
Environmental Services also manages programs under various state mandates. All
reports, including the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Annual Report to
the State Water Board and the Solid Waste and Recycling Report to CalRecycle, have
been submitted on time. This ensures Gilroy maintains good standing with regulatory
agencies. The division works closely with other Public Works Divisions, the Community
Development Department, and the Utilities Department to ensure environmental
requirements are anticipated and addressed in daily operations. By providing program
management and coordination across departments, Environmental Services reduces
risks, prevents last-minute compliance issues, and streamlines project delivery.
In addition to its internal role, the division provides Gilroy with consistent representation
in regional committees, subcommittees, and working groups. Staff actively monitor
proposed State and federal regulations, submit timely comments, and help protect
Gilroy’s interests while preparing the City for upcoming requirements. Following
completion of development projects, Environmental Services also tracks post-
construction stormwater treatment measures, ensures new property owners are
Page 54 of 106
informed of maintenance obligations, and maintains records to verify long-term
performance. These efforts protect water quality, reduce localized flooding risks, and
preserve the appearance and functionality of neighborhoods.
By building strong partnerships inside and outside City Hall, Environmental Services
has become a program that is both responsive and visible. The division delivers tangible
benefits through timely compliance, community engagement, and successful pursuit of
external funding. Its work strengthens Gilroy’s position regionally, supports local
businesses and residents, and directly contributes to the City’s long-term priorities.
On August 1, 2017, in response to the State Water Resources Control Board's Water
Code Section 13383 Order, the City formally selected Track 1 compliance (installation
of Certified Full Capture Systems) as its pathway under the Provisions. Switching to
Track 2 at this time would require Water Board approval of a Full Capture Equivalency
demonstration, which introduces additional cost, delay, and regulatory uncertainty.
As noted previously, the department’s work program includes managing the State’s
Phase II MS4 Permit, implementing a multi-year plan to implement the Statewide Trash
Provisions.
In January, Public Works staff requested authorization from the City Council to enter
into a contract with a vendor to fabricate and install approximately 80 trash capture
devices in existing storm water inlets. The City Council took no official action, citing the
need for additional information.
ANALYSIS
The Statewide Trash Provisions allow municipalities to comply through either Track 1
(installation of certified full trash capture devices) or Track 2 (a combination of devices,
enhanced programs, and institutional controls designed to demonstrate “Full Capture
Equivalency”).
Staff and the City’s consultant reviewed the requirements for both pathways. At this time
staff is recommending proceeding with implementation under Track 1 (Trash Capture
Systems). Staff is recommending this action because of the following:
• Critical initial compliance deadline of December 2, 2026, to meet the first 30%
Priority Land Use obligation.
o Changing to other compliance methods will require consultant assistance
and will require amendment of the agreement with the Water Board.
o Staff does not believe there is sufficient time to conduct the background
analysis to develop an approval and implementation prior to December 2,
Page 55 of 106
2026.
Consultant costs for Track 2 are estimated to cost approximately $200,000 to $250,000
with no guarantee of Water Board approval or resulting in equivalent trash removal.
CONCLUSION
Track 1 compliance (installation of trash capture devices) is direct, achievable, and
consistent with the City's existing commitment. Installation of a trash capture system is
automatically recognized by the State as compliance under the Provisions. Based on
bids received in December 2024, staff estimates the cost of installing 75 devices at
approximately $200,000, which includes fabrication, installation, and two years of
maintenance. The 75 device locations were selected to maximize drainage area
coverage and minimize the number of units needed to meet the first compliance
deadline. If authorized by the Council, staff will re-advertise the project to confirm
current pricing. Installing 75 devices will allow the City to meet the December 2, 2026,
milestone and demonstrate measurable progress towards the 2028 and 2030
compliance deadlines. Staff will continue to evaluate the best possible options for the
next two phases under the State Trash provisions. This evaluation will include an
assessment of the effectiveness of the trash capture devices included in Phase 1 as
well as permitting and utilization of outfall-based capture.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may direct staff to pursue a Trash Capture System equivalency program under
Track 2 of the Provisions. Staff does not recommend this option as there is insufficient
time to develop the program, seek Water Board approval, and implement the program
prior to the December 2, 2026, deadline.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Costs can be supported through the Stormwater Management Fund (422), which has
approximately $0.8 million in fund balance. The estimated cost of 75 trash capture
devices is approximately $200,000, based on the average bid price received in
December 2024. There will be ongoing operation and maintenance costs for the City
following the two-year initial contractor maintenance period, which will need to be
incorporated into the next biennial budget.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Staff will continue presenting trash management practices at community events and
outreach campaigns.
Page 56 of 106
NEXT STEPS
Based on Council direction:
• Staff will initiate the RFP process for the installation of the devices.
• Staff will develop an integrated program to provide equivalent full trash capture
equivalency. This may require the use of consultants due to the complex nature of the
program and staff availability.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Provide Policy Direction on a Proposed Zoning Ordinance
Text Amendment to Allow Electronic Billboards along State
Route 101
Meeting Date: October 20, 2025
From: Brad Kilger, Interim City Administrator
Department: Community Development
Submitted by: Sharon Goei, Community Development Director
Prepared by: Melissa Durkin, Extra Help Planner
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Develop a Financially Resilient Organization
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council provide policy direction on a proposed Zoning
Ordinance text amendment to allow electronic billboards along State Route 101.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Emsee Properties, Inc., care of Mike Conrotto (applicant), has submitted a Zoning
Ordinance text amendment that proposes allowing off-site electronic billboard signs in
Gilroy (see Attachment 1). The City currently prohibits off-site advertising signs,
including electronic billboards. Staff requests that the City Council review this report and
provide guidance on the proposed policy change.
BACKGROUND
Existing City Code: The Gilroy sign ordinance does not currently allow electronic
billboard signs, as it prohibits off-site advertising signs (other than real-estate signs) and
has restrictions on freeway-oriented signs and automobile dealership signs (e.g.,
location, height and size limits). The sign ordinance also prohibits signs that utilize
scrolling or moving text or images. The City would need to amend the following Gilroy
City Code sections to allow billboard signs: sections 30.37.30 (Prohibited Signs),
30.37.50 (Commercial and Industrial districts), and 30.37.51 (Freeway Oriented Signs),
Page 64 of 106
and would need to add a new section regulating billboard signs.
Prior Text Amendment Request: The City received an application for a prior Zoning
Ordinance text amendment (Z 18-04) to allow electronic billboard signage on May 4,
2018. The prior text amendment contained the same language changes as the text
amendment proposed via Z 25-01.
On February 2, 2023, the Planning Commission considered Zoning Ordinance text
amendment application Z 18-04. The proposed text amendment had both strong
support and strong opposition. Those who supported the amendment believed
electronic billboard signs could provide a significant source of revenue to the City and
city businesses. Those who opposed the text amendment were opposed to it mostly
due to the potential aesthetic impacts of an electronic billboard sign. The strong
opinions on each side resulted in the Planning Commission denying the proposed text
amendment by a vote of 4-3.
Upon appeal, the City Council considered and denied this text amendment on March
20, 2023 by a vote of 4-3. The issues raised at the City Council hearing were
substantially the same as the issues raised at the Planning Commission hearings.
CEQA: Environmental review, in the form of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration (IS/MND), was included with the Zoning Ordinance text amendment
application. Although the text amendment was denied by City Council, the IS/MND
was adopted. If the City Council chooses to support the proposed text amendment, no
additional CEQA analysis will be necessary.
General Plan: The Gilroy 2040 General Plan was adopted in November 2020 and has
the following policies related to billboards, freeway signage, and light pollution.
POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY
LU 4.11 Freeway Signage: Work with Caltrans to explore ways to increase
directional signage to freeway commercial uses at U.S. 101 interchanges.
LU 8.7 Signs and Billboards: Require the location of signs and billboards to
respect the surrounding context in order to minimize any negative impact
on the visual environment. Enforce sign regulations and design standards
to reduce sign clutter and illegal signage along corridors.
LU 8.13 Limit Light Pollution: Encourage measures to limit light pollution from
outdoor sources, and direct outdoor lighting downward and away from
sensitive receptors.
While the General Plan sign policies do not directly address digital media, they do
encourage signage for freeway commercial uses (including the outlet mall and auto
dealerships), so long as such signage has minimal negative impact on the visual
environment. The light pollution policy encourages measures that limit light pollution
from outdoor sources. The Zoning Ordinance amendment would need to create design
standards that minimize impacts from sign clutter and light pollution.

ANALYSIS
If the City Council decides to allow electronic billboard signage, several sections of the
Zoning Ordinance would need to be modified. The proposed ordinance, Attachment 1 of
this staff report, contains the proposed language modifications. The proposed
language was developed through staff analysis, direction from the City Council, and
public input gathered as part of processing Zone Change application Z 18-04. By
reviewing best practices from other cities that permit billboard signage, the proposed
language also takes into account the following factors:
• Number of Signs Allowed
• Sign Height
• Sign Area
• Sign Location(s)
• Sign Benefits for the City and Gilroy businesses
• Advertising of non-Gilroy businesses
Summary of Issues Considered in Developing Ordinance Language
Staff considered the following policy issues in developing the draft ordinance language.
Off-Site Signage/Advertising Non-City Businesses: The Zoning Ordinance currently
prohibits off-site signage, including billboard signs. By nature, billboard signs consist of
off-site signage, since they advertise businesses, products, services and events that are
produced, sold or occur off premises. In addition, billboard signs are designed to be
visible at a distance, rather than to attract customers to the sites on which they are
located. Allowing off-site signage would be a significant policy change, as it could
potentially allow businesses, products, services and events outside of Gilroy to be
advertised in Gilroy.
Typical electronic billboard advertisements may include businesses and events located
outside of Gilroy. This includes national brands and regional events. Sign content
would not be regulated by the City, since the sign would be owned and operated by a
third party. This could provide competition for Gilroy businesses. Conversely, billboard
advertisements could also attract new customers to Gilroy businesses that offer
complementary services and benefit Gilroy businesses that advertise on the sign by
reaching a larger potential customer base. In addition, national brand advertisements
could benefit Gilroy franchises selling those products or services.
Substantial Light: One of the main concerns is that electronic billboards would create a
new source of substantial light that could harm wildlife and would potentially interfere
with the work of Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton. This issue was raised in comments
to the Planning Commission and City Council during the hearings on Zone Change
Page 66 of 106
application Z 18-04, as well as in comments made on the initial study/mitigated negative
declaration.
This substantial light issue was analyzed in the project initial study/mitigated negative
declaration environmental document. That document determined there would not be a
significant impact related to light or glare, as the billboard sign is in an urbanized area
and lighted signs emitting similar light levels for commercial uses already exist in Gilroy
along State Route 101. The baseline light sources in the project area include local
street lighting; parking lot lighting; interior lights; other illuminated signs at nearby auto
dealerships and commercial businesses; headlights from automobile traffic; and
highway lighting structures. The document also determined there would not be a
substantial impact on wildlife, with incorporated mitigation measures.
Per the IS/MND, electronic billboards permitted in accordance with the proposed Zoning
Ordinance text amendment would not have an impact on the work of Lick Observatory
on Mt. Hamilton, as the sign would be limited to a maximum light output level of 0.3 foot-
candles at 250 feet from the billboard above ambient conditions. At this lighting level,
light cast beyond 250 feet would not register on a light meter. The Lick Observatory is
25 miles from Gilroy, so its operations will not be impacted by electronic billboards in
Gilroy.
The applicant has submitted a sign brightness survey and a photometric review of the
signs that would be permitted in accordance with the proposed Zoning Ordinance text
amendment. These documents are contained in Attachment 3, “Correspondence from
the Applicant,” for City Council consideration. The photometric review finds that existing
monument signs emit as much, if not more, light to the surrounding areas than the
proposed electronic billboard signs.
Public Property versus Private Property. The City Council should consider whether to
limit electronic billboard sign locations to public property only, private property only, or
allow signs on both public and private property.
The primary benefit of allowing off-site signs on private property is the potential for
locating signs where they have the most visibility and where a driver can safely exit the
freeway to access advertised businesses. The primary benefit of limiting off-site signage
to public property is that the City would have more control of sign content, and the City
could obtain competitive proposals (via the RFP process) from interested sign
companies. Note that this would be the case only if the City owned the property. If
another public agency owned the property, the City would not be able to exercise that
control.
There are only a few potential sites located on City-owned property since the City has
limited land adjacent to State Route 101. Additionally, it is unclear if any City-owned
properties would comply with the proposed location restrictions, which are as follows:
• Designated on the General Plan Land Use Diagram as General Services
Page 67 of 106
Commercial or City Gateway District;
• Within 660 feet of State Route 101; and
• At least 500 feet from residential and hotel uses
The current draft ordinance proposes allowing signs on both public and private property.
The City Council may want to consider whether locating a billboard sign on City property
is viable.
City Agreement: The proposed ordinance would require that the owner/operator of an
electronic billboard sign enter into an agreement with the City (e.g. Development
Agreement or Operating Agreement) in form acceptable to the City Attorney, setting
forth any required fees, revenues, terms, off-site advertisement criteria, content control
standards, community service message provisions, community outreach requirements,
maintenance standards, conditions that trigger billboard removal, and other covenants
or restrictions needed to offset or mitigate the impacts of a proposed electronic
billboard(s).
The type of Agreement will vary based on whether the sign is on private or public
property and whether there is a requirement for relocation. If the City Council decides to
proceed with an ordinance allowing electronic billboards, City staff will research best
practices for these agreements.
Compliance Hearings: The proposed ordinance requires compliance hearings before
the City to review the owner/operator’s compliance with the City Agreement, including
content standards and message frequency. The Ordinance and City Agreement would
also be structured to allow the City to request subsequent compliance hearings, as
needed, if the City receives a verifiable complaint of non-compliance with the City
Agreement and/or City standards.
Maximum Number of Electronic Billboards: The proposed ordinance would allow a
maximum of two (2) electronic billboard signs in the City. The City Council could
consider an alternate number of signs.
Sign Location: The proposed ordinance would allow electronic billboard signs to be
located within 660 feet of State Route 101. This location will require an Outdoor
Advertising Permit from Caltrans. Furthermore, the proposed ordinance limits signs to
properties designated as General Services Commercial or City Gateway District. These
two designations are primarily comprised of regional-serving commercial uses and are
adjacent to the freeway, generally located between Luchessa Avenue and Cohansey
Avenue.
Distance between Signs: The proposed ordinance would require a minimum distance of
1.5 miles between signs, as this is the approximate distance between the Leavesley
Road exit and the 10th Street exit off State Route 101. This is also a reasonable
distance between signs, if only two (2) signs are permitted in the City. However, if three
Page 68 of 106
(3) electronic billboards were permitted in the City, a shorter distance is recommended.
For example, if a third sign were desired in the vicinity of State Route 152 and State
Route 101, the minimum distance would need to be reduced to something closer to
1,000 feet. Caltrans requires a minimum of 1,000 feet between electronic billboard
signs.
Sign Height and Sign Area: The proposed ordinance allows a maximum height of 75-
feet above freeway grade based on the current allowance for the Gilroy Crossings sign.
Staff is also recommending a maximum digital sign area of 672 square feet, based on
the industry billboard standard of 48-feet wide by 14-feet tall. This 672 square foot
allowance is consistent with other city codes, including Concord, Rocklin, and South
San Francisco.
Advertising Spots: The proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendment would allow
electronic billboard signs with two sides. The electronic billboard would run on a loop
with eight (8) advertisements loaded on each side. Each side of the sign would operate
as follows: each advertisement would display a static sign for eight (8) seconds. After
eight (8) seconds, the sign would switch to the next advertisement in the loop. Once all
eight (8) advertisements have been displayed, the cycle would start over, such that the
entire loop is 64 seconds long.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There are no fiscal impacts associated with conducting this policy discussion.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The proposed text amendment is a significant policy change. Holding this discussion
will allow the public to comment early in the process, enabling the City Council to
consider public input in providing policy direction. If the applicant proceeds with the
proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendment, the Planning Commission and City
Council would hold public hearings to consider this application. If the Planning
Commission denies Z 25-01, the decision would be final unless appealed to the City
Council.
NEXT STEPS
If the Council does not want to consider allowing a Zoning Ordinance text amendment
permitting electronic billboard signage, the applicant will have the option of withdrawing
the application or moving forward, understanding that the Zoning Ordinance text
Page 69 of 106
amendment would likely be denied.
If the applicant moves forward with the proposed ordinance, staff will incorporate City
Council direction received at this meeting and continue to work with the applicant.
If the ordinance is approved, staff could process applications that comply with the
standards set forth in the new ordinance.
