SUMMARY:
Approval of the recommended budget amendment will: (1) reappropriate the remaining AB-102 grant funding for the 29 Bishop Pajaro Mansion Emergency Repair Project in FY 2025-26; and (2) reallocate any remaining AB-102 funds previously allocated to the Safe Streets and Department of Emergency Management Preparedness Projects to support continued emergency repairs at the historic facility following damage caused by the March 2023 Pajaro Flood.
DISCUSSION:
On April 15, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved the reallocation of $3,155,412 in AB-102 grant funding to support the 29 Bishop Pajaro Mansion Emergency Repair Project. An additional $50,000 was subsequently allocated by the Department of Emergency Management (DEM), bringing the total AB-102 funding available for the project to $3,205,412.
The project addresses damage resulting from the March 2023 Pajaro Flood and includes replacement of damaged roofing, siding, and windows; repair and relocation of mechanical equipment and fire systems; repairs to the front porch; and related remediation and site improvements necessary to restore and protect the historic facility.
During FY 2024-25, $223,065 of the AB-102 funding was expended for project activities, leaving an unspent balance of $2,982,347. Approval of the recommended budget amendment will recognize the remaining grant revenue and increase appropriations in FY 2025-26 to allow Public Works, Facilities and Parks to continue implementation of the emergency repair project.
In addition, staff is requesting authorization to reallocate any remaining AB-102 funding previously allocated to the Safe Streets and Department of Emergency Management Preparedness Projects to the 29 Bishop Pajaro Mansion Emergency Repair Project.
The Safe Streets Project was originally allocated $2,000,000 of AB 102 funds. To date, $1,983,093 has been expended, leaving a remaining balance of $16,907 available for reallocation. The project focused on improving vehicle and pedestrian safety throughout the Pajaro community and included ADA-compliant sidewalk and crosswalk enhancements, installation of additional street lighting, upgraded roadway signage, roadway striping along San Juan Road, and traffic signal equipment and operational improvements at the intersections of Porter Drive and San Juan Road, as well as Salinas Road adjacent to Pajaro Middle School.
The Emergency Response, Preparedness, and Digital Message Board projects were originally allocated $900,000 of AB 102 funds and have expended $856,065, leaving a remaining balance of $43,935 available for reallocation.
The Pajaro Park Project was originally allocated $1,200,000 of AB 102 funds. To date, $1,044,189 has been expended on park improvements. In February 2025, the Board directed staff to investigate placing remaining funds in trust for operations and maintenance expenses. Based on grant expenditure goals and the cost of a creating a trust relative to the amount of money remaining, staff determined use of a trust to be infeasible. Additional equipment is currently being purchased for the park to support operations and maintenance. There is anticipated to be a balance remaining after these purchases are complete. Staff will return to the Board to request the reallocation of any remaining funds in FY 2026-27.
Approval of the recommended actions will allow any remaining balances from Safe Streets and Department of Emergency Management Preparedness Projects, estimated not to exceed $60,842 to be reallocated and appropriated in FY 2025-26 for the emergency repairs at the 29 Bishop Pajaro Mansion facility.

Approval of this recommendation will increase the revenues and appropriations by $2,982,347 in General Fund, Facility Services to reappropriate unspent AB-102 grant revenues from the prior fiscal year for the 29 Bishop Pajaro Mansion Emergency Repair Project. Approval of the recommended actions will also authorize an additional increase in revenues and appropriations of up to $60,842 related to the reallocation of any remaining AB-102 funding previously allocated to the Safe Streets and Department of Emergency Management Preparedness Projects.
