1) Consent calendar approval: Council approved consent calendar items 1 through 6 and 8 by unanimous vote. The consent calendar included approval of minutes, a warrant register with several payments over $100,000 (highlights below), acceptance of park improvements at Royal Oak Meadows Park, and acceptance of additional public improvements related to the Olson South Chandler project. Highlights from the warrant register included payments to: Sousa Construction ($283,658.69, airport fund); Hartzell General Engineering ($245,970.67, water fund); Granite Construction ($289,070.54, Creston Road phase 1); and pass-through assessments to Visit SLOCAL ($117,234.30) and Bridal Paso ($155,523.27). The council vote was: Pro Tem Gregory — Aye; Councilmember Strong — Aye; Councilmember Bausch — Aye; Councilmember Buell — Aye; Mayor John R Hammond — Aye. Motion to approve items 1-6 and 8 passed unanimously.

2) Continuation of Olson South Chandler operating memorandum (item 7): The council unanimously voted to continue a developer request from Trumark Homes that would allow certain subdivision tracks to be constructed without installing local-street natural gas mains. The council directed staff to return with additional information on development-agreement language, CPUC/PG&E penalty and incentive implications, utility capacity, and implications for buyers (solar/battery provisioning and retrofit options). Vote on continuation: unanimous.

Closed-session report: The council recessed to closed session earlier in the evening for conference with legal counsel regarding existing litigation (Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1)) — Tribune v. City of Paso Robles and related cross-complaints — and announced there was no reportable action.

Farley said the street's cul-de-sac geography causes dust and debris to settle on homes and solar panels and that the project's temporary trench patching leaves the roadway scarred beyond the narrow trench area. He asked the city for: a clear and updated completion timeline; immediate dust mitigation given the location's natural bowl effect; expedited completion of an unfinished golf course easement used by residents and wildlife; full road resurfacing rather than trench-only repairs; sidewalk repairs where needed; and consideration of compensation such as utility credits or tax relief for affected households.

City staff asked Farley to check in with the city manager's office for an update; the city manager said staff can provide a status briefing. Council thanked Farley for bringing the concerns to the council and asked staff to follow up directly with residents.","Residents of Fallbrook Court urged the council to require full street repaving, dust mitigation and timeline transparency after months of sewer construction managed by Woodacre Construction disrupted the cul-de-sac.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6517939,"Council hears Mid State Fair preview, proclaims Parks & Recreation month and accepts CALED award",509,2470000,2979000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5399917-6480f08a1ec7d734be29db302d7062dd&start=2470&end=2979","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5399917-6480f08a1ec7d734be29db302d7062dd/thumbnail_2470000.jpg","/articles/6517939/El-Paso-de-Robles-City/San-Luis-Obispo-County/California/Council-hears-Mid-State-Fair-preview-proclaims-Parks-Recreation-month-and-accepts-CALED-award","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517939-7cbe777fb12bb99199c009c6a5a7fc83/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154120&Signature=ZXv~QQa2NiP7qUobJkB8N20g6wBG5g3OAg3UODA807Pnh3azpjzLzi629A7Wia-W4IZDvDlhYPMJWU03vBqUdPg~BL0JsI2ozunYc7TOveckNvrj0mh08v-nYG8z0WuE71pRi~Wt3ouYOlbzNLSJ4sccZ~aHhxMAEgxM4ta6iPHatD46BcWO6rcyZVU4bsAXBssQ38Q0-8rdyo0yUIlKUsFjidHu2fu9xtCorwb0OL0DufPkDrl6xoSThhHaEwCknF-I1PLBHrqeMhWn4Ak18Z6Or8hkdAK-DyRRG1Wc-ZLd-HNUE94WMgNSN-6nHId7oPLlxDk0L-Y0jADB7zNMhw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Colleen Bojorquez, CEO of the California Mid State Fair, told the council on July 15 that the 2025 fair's theme is \"Off to the Races\" and that the event begins the day after the meeting. Bojorquez said the fair traditionally draws about 375,000 to 400,000 visitors and outlined highlights including discounted admission days (seniors' day on July 18; kids day on July 25), a junior livestock auction and headline entertainment.

Mayor John R Hammond read a proclamation declaring July 2025 as \"Parks Make Life Better\" month in Paso Robles. Linda (rec staff) and James (parks) accepted the proclamation and thanked park and recreation staff for volunteer programming and maintenance. Staff also presented certificates of recognition to Francisco Vasquez and Manuel Avella for using a fire extinguisher and coordinating with construction crews to control a fire near Sherwood Park on June 5, 2025.

Paul Sloan introduced Michelle Stevens of the California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED), who presented an Award of Merit for the city's five-year Economic Development Strategic Plan. Stevens said the plan distilled stakeholder input into five initiatives and 75 action items and was recognized in CALED's programs and promotions category.

Council members and members of the public thanked staff and volunteers for the fair and for parks programming successes. The donation of a van valued at $73,000 (consent agenda) was referenced as supporting the city's \"Play on Wheels\" recreation outreach program.","Colleen Bojorquez previewed the 2025 California Mid State Fair; council proclaimed July as Parks and Recreation Month and accepted a CALED Award of Merit for the city's five-year economic development strategic plan; staff members received recognition for responding to a park fire.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6517944,"Council continues Trumark request to omit natural gas in Olson South Chandler subdivision",2715,8588000,11303000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5399917-6480f08a1ec7d734be29db302d7062dd&start=8588&end=11303","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5399917-6480f08a1ec7d734be29db302d7062dd/thumbnail_8588000.jpg","/articles/6517944/El-Paso-de-Robles-City/San-Luis-Obispo-County/California/Council-continues-Trumark-request-to-omit-natural-gas-in-Olson-South-Chandler-subdivision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517944-b3014f2396d4cf8cbdac9e80b28adb20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154120&Signature=DeUXhPN-PmlDcHdd3rfJQuvJDD~pxtiXFQ1Q-XvUnL59X0Uls5NauOWLsurLM4fNVztMIR0a-9cjR2l1f9rJ94KppYu6hAVA3777-06fhTxreP7LK984u~F59Jnn~5acxO7El1SAyenf0ZFpydfugg73lPnwDwAnq2BjW2~AG2E5F-4hu~oLlUltk2EyE7lASOcQUFOYi8sonFEm1TldRBk2ITFPRikeVCbxPluJLnN9bpPvDaomZ9nPXnYoCVssgBffy-nH6N7ouimYrIf0oUosd9pV4XD4JyEOxRHFhxQqhliopYE6Qq8HItLU1yR1~M3AozPJPxhb4hCo3Hs4Mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Paso Robles City Council on July 15 continued consideration of a developer request from Trumark Homes to make natural gas installation optional for selected tracks in the Olson South Chandler specific plan.

Warren Frase, the city's community development director, said Trumark has purchased multiple subdivision tracks and is seeking an operating memorandum to the development agreement that would allow those tracks to be constructed as all-electric, without installing natural gas mains in the neighborhood local streets. Frase said the request would not change the specific plan generally or force a citywide policy; rather, it would let the developer choose not to install gas mains in those tracks.

Dana Gillespie, project manager for Trumark Homes, told the council the company's market experience shows no sales decline for all-electric homes and that the utility landscape has changed: she said the California Public Utilities Commission and PG&E structure penalties that can make installing gas infrastructure costly in certain situations. City and developer figures cited a potential penalty approaching about $1,000,000 across the affected phases if the lines were installed given the project's timing; Trumark said typical solar panels will be provided on the homes, while battery (Powerwall) systems would remain an optional upgrade.

Council members pressed staff and the developer on several points: whether mains in backbone roads would remain, whether laterals (the service connection from curb to individual houses) would be required, how PG&E capacity and grid resilience would be affected, and whether savings to the developer would be passed to buyers. Proponents said the backbone gas mains that serve other tracks would remain in place and that only local street gas mains would be omitted in the affected orange tracks. Opponents and members of the public raised reliability concerns: an in-home caregiver described an oxygen-dependent client who experienced a prolonged outage, and other public callers urged caution about relying solely on electric infrastructure in the event of extended outages.

Given those questions, council moved to continue the item and asked staff to return with additional clarification about development-agreement language, utility penalties and incentives, and options that would preserve buyer choice. The motion to continue passed unanimously.","Trumark Homes asked the council to allow certain tracks in the Olson South Chandler specific plan to be built without natural gas mains; council voted to continue the item and requested more information on utility capacity, costs and buyer impacts.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6517949,"Paso Robles details homelessness strategy, launches North County stakeholder group",433,5379000,5812000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5399917-6480f08a1ec7d734be29db302d7062dd&start=5379&end=5812","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5399917-6480f08a1ec7d734be29db302d7062dd/thumbnail_5379000.jpg","/articles/6517949/El-Paso-de-Robles-City/San-Luis-Obispo-County/California/Paso-Robles-details-homelessness-strategy-launches-North-County-stakeholder-group","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517949-453b936d9857248f291072683d44618e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154120&Signature=g5y3dKt7vhC-F7yY~j62IkNrm92A5oPtyTUOuBnEw7YMfhdjixZvJluSq66HXfpwLBhGSZFMLe7xoAQKF9wr0jkE4iVNAtZzBGQTy8Uwu8ocu27EoVfM9zwre8rbyvjNgdrDQZDxi96dR9P9qPyWfGci-fJRpHNAEbbxM9M9vB1rFCJ1jzrBhX8bkS4RiLwm9kwdQDXeiUmMfge4UWfsWBQcoEZ3vnDmKq8pwNG0d1c~QcGSdDwciYqENOXXFg6uRvb7ybRH2gUF9I8Dv88BSaBO~IfasZ0E-NJOJ03HMGd1rlKDM33hSGXA8HI60IUdWgxIF5HmeTUfF7kp2PUwrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ashley Hernandez, the city's homeless services manager, told the Paso Robles City Council on July 15 that the city is moving from planning to early implementation of a homelessness strategy adopted in 2024.

Hernandez said the plan, developed with 38 cross-sector partners, is organized around six focus areas: programs and services; behavioral health; education, training and outreach; the housing continuum; funding and resources; and policies and procedures. \"Listen first. I did not come with all the answers,\" Hernandez said, describing eight months of outreach and a 90-day emphasis on building relationships and mapping services.

The update outlined several near-term actions: finalizing an amended memorandum of understanding with ECHO to track quality improvements and neighborhood impacts; strengthening coordination with county behavioral health for mental-health and substance-use services; expanding the Community Action Team with a third officer embedded with behavioral health; and forming a North County stakeholder group this fall to set shared priorities.

Hernandez also described housing demand and development activity, saying waiting lists at some multifamily and senior projects range from roughly 600 to 1,400 families per site. The multifamily accelerator program is identifying sites, zoning refinements and grant opportunities; the city is working with the Paso Robles Housing Authority and People's Self-Help Housing on specific projects.

Hernandez said the city will begin producing data reports in fall 2025 with the county's homeless management information system and that the next point-in-time count will be January 2026. She asked council support for volunteer recruitment for that count and said the next quarterly council update will be in November 2025.

In public comment, resident Linda George raised concerns that ECHO does not fully serve people living in the riverbed and asked that the issue be addressed in implementation. Hernandez said the city's approach is to work with partners and people with lived experience to reduce confusion around coordinated entry and to create a resource guide in partnership with ECHO and the county.

Hernandez closed with a personal anecdote about a person who said outreach workers had helped her rebuild her life: \"My job is to sow seeds and to see what happens,\" she told the council.","Homeless services manager Ashley Hernandez updated the council on a 2024 strategic plan implementation, partnerships with ECHO and county behavioral health, plans for a North County stakeholder group, and upcoming data and volunteer efforts.","actionData","errors"]
