Letter of Support for Simpson University Aviation and Aviation Management Program

I RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends the approval of the letter of support for the funding of an Aviation Management program for Simpson University.

I FISCAL IMPACT
None.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The aviation industry is experiencing a global shortage of pilots and airlines are scrambling to fill this void. Unfortunately, there has also been a series of recent adverse media reports on aviation management professionals and the need for increased safety awareness within the industry.

Simpson University is rising to the challenge and pursuing approval and funding for a new aviation program to train both new pilots and those interested in management and leadership within the aviation industry. As such, Simpson University is putting a funding request before Congress for systems and equipment for these proposed programs.

ITEM 6.6 PAGE1 3/4/2025
Simpson University will partner with local flight training providers, where students will be able to work towards receiving their pilot's license. The university will also offer the opportunity to attain a bachelor's degree in aviation management. This will boost our local offerings for advanced education and increase the number of qualified individuals in the north state.

ITEM 6.6 PAGE2 3/4/2025
March 4, 2025
Hon. Doug LaMalfa
Member of Congress
408 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.C.

Dear Congressman LaMalfa,
I am proud to write to you in support of Simpson University and its application for federal funding through the Community Project Funding (CPF) process. These critical funds, if awarded, would enable Simpson to launch a new, cutting-edge aviation program that meets the needs of the community in Northern California. On behalf of the City of Anderson, we support Simpson's project and ask that you thoroughly consider the impact of their project.

The need for such a program is evident given the growing demand for skilled professionals in the aviation field. With the ongoing shortage in the field and projections for more significant gaps in coming years, it is imperative that local educators and the industry take proactive steps to address this need. Simpson University's proposed program not only aligns with this need but also leverages the unique advantages of Northern California, particularly its ideal climate for flight training.

This critical equipment will boost the new program to meet the demands of the commercial airline sector and create opportunities for individuals seeking careers in fields such as firefighting, rescue operations, and agriculture. By offering both a professional flight track and an aviation management track, Simpson University will ensure that graduates are wellequipped to pursue diverse career paths within the aviation industry.

Investing in Simpson University's aviation program is not only an investment in the future of the region but also in the future of the industry as a whole. I wholeheartedly endorse the City Council

Update to the Use of City Computer Equipment and Electronic Communications Policy and Adoption of a Risk Management Policy

I RECOMMENDATION
The Public Works Director recommends that the City Council:

Consider adopting an update to the City of Anderson's Use of City Computer Equipment and Electronic Communications Policy and adopt a Risk Management Policy

I FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with these items.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Use of City Computer Equipment and Electronic Communications Policy The City of Anderson adopted a Use of City Computer Equipment and Electronic Communications Policy on December 11, 2007, which addressed electronic ITEM 6.10 PAGE1 3/4/2025
communications, computer usage, the City's website, and electronic file retention. The policy has not been revised since its adoption.

It was determined that some aspects of the policy were outdated, so revisions were made to reflect changes in technology and business needs, clarify staff responsibilities, provide an investigative exception, and include guidance for social media communications.

Department heads provided input into the revisions, and the updated policy was reviewed by the City Attorney.

Risk Management Policy
During a recent risk program assessment through our insurance JPA, Northern California Cities Self Insurance Fund (NCCSIF), it was recommended that the City develop a Risk Management Policy that supports an effective risk management structure designed to protect employees and reduce costs associated with liability and workers' compensation losses.

The proposed policy, which is attached, reflects our current practices, adheres to NCCSIF's guidelines, and has been approved by the City Attorney.

To help minimize risks and operate more securely, it is recommended that the Council adopt the attached updated Use of City Computer Equipment and Electronic Communications Policy and a Risk Management Policy.

CITY OF ANDERSON

ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY AND PROCEDURE MANUAL
SUBJECT: USE OF CITY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS APPROVED: March 4, 2025
EFFECTIVE DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2007
SUPERCEDES: ALL PREVIOUS WRITTEN AND VERBAL DIRECTION
The City provides different types of computer and electronic equipment, including computers, software, desk and/or smartphone systems, tablets, copiers, and printers, to assist employees in completing their work tasks efficiently. It is everyone's responsibility to protect our computer resources and to operate and maintain their computer equipment in a prudent manner. This policy outlines City policies concerning the use of computer and electronic equipment. It is the responsibility of each City of Anderson employee to familiarize themselves with this policy. Violations of this policy will result in appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Each City of Anderson employee will be required to sign an acknowledgment of their understanding of this policy. If the employee has any questions about this policy, they should contact the City Clerk.

Electronic Communications
Internet, E-mail, and phone access is provided by the City to facilitate the performance of City work. Incidental, infrequent and de minimis personal use of the Internet, E-Mail, and phone is not prohibited, however such incidental and infrequent use should not interfere or conflict with business use or job performance, should clearly indicate that it is personal, not City usage, and is subject to regulation by the City. The Internet, E-mail, and phone must be used in compliance with applicable statutes, regulations, and City policies including those that require a work environment free from discrimination and harassment. Employees are expected to use common sense and good judgment and avoid any communication that is disrespectful, offensive or illegal. Employees must exercise good judgment while using the Internet, E-mail, and phone, and treat their use as a formal communication tool the same as written communications.

Computer Use Policy Page 1 of 6
The City, as provider of access to the Internet, E-mail, phones, reserves the right to specify how City's network resources will be used and administered to comply with this policy.

It is important to realize that the message content sent from the City account reflects upon the City (positively or negatively) to those who receive the message. Employees may be subject to disciplinary actions for using these resources in a manner other than for their intended purposes. City reserves the right to restrict access to any data source if and when, in its sole discretion and .after appropriate review, the City determines such a source to be problematic. Such restrictions do not constitute an implication of approval of other non-restricted sources. Without exhausting all the possibilities, the following are examples of inappropriate use of the Internet, E-mail and desk and/or smartphones, or social media:
1) Exposing others unwillingly, either through carelessness or intention, to material that is offensive, obscene or in poor taste. This includes information that may create an intimidating, offensive or hostile work environment. No employee shall, at any time, access pornographic or offensive websites, unless authorized by supervisory or management personnel for the official purpose of police investigations.
2) Any use that may, for a reasonable person, create or further a hostile attitude or give offense on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, citizenship, ancestry, marital status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, disability (mental or physical), age, veteran's status, sexual orientation, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, genetic information, political affiliation, or any other protected class under state or federal law. 3) Communication of confidential City information to unauthorized individuals within or outside of City.
4) Sending messages or information that is in conflict with applicable law or City policies, rules or procedures.
5) Unauthorized attempts to access data or break into any City, or non-City system. 6) Theft or unauthorized copying of electronic files, software or data. 7) Initiating or sustaining chain letters, jokes or similar communication. 8) Intentional misrepresentation of one's identity for improper or illegal acts. 9) Private or personal for-profit activities or for personal financial gain.

Electronic communications to and/or from City of Anderson employees are presumed to be work-related. City computers, along with the transactions processed and the data stored on them, are the property of the City and may be accessed by City management.

This includes employee access to personal web-based email accounts using City Computer Use Policy Page 2 of6
computer and network resources. Employees should not expect privacy in the use of City computers. Additionally, E-mail messages to recipients on systems outside of the City pass through systems and networks not managed by the City. The privacy and confidentiality of such messages is, therefore, not assured. Use of personal devices for City work is prohibited unless authorized.

Employees and other users of the Internet, E-mail and phones are advised that the City will monitor systems and employee activities on their City computer and network. In that regard, the City may conduct reviews of the content of messages and files, and web sites visited on the Internet, and transactions conducted on the Internet, including random and/or routine reviews, when in the exercise of its business judgment the City determines that it would be prudent to do so. For example, such monitoring or access may occur when required to perform work during an employee's absence, to perform system maintenance or investigate system problems, to locate an employee's absence, to perform system maintenance or investigate system problems, to locate documents in response to a legal or public records request, or to investigate inappropriate use.

Computer Usage
The City of Anderson will adhere to the terms and conditions of software licensing agreements that accompany every legitimate software package. Generally, this means that the software may only be used on a single computer at one time, unless special licenses are purchased.

Only City acquired, legally obtained software programs are to be loaded and/or used on City computers. No unlicensed software will be allowed on City computer equipment.

Licensed software acquired by the employee may be loaded and/or used only after obtaining written approval of the Information Systems Manager.

The City provides software applications, including word processing, e-mail, internet browsers, and many others for the employee's use in the efficient and effective conduct of the City employee's job duties. The City's computer system, including all software, printers, scanners, copy machines, and other similar equipment, are not to be used by anyone other than authorized City employees; at no time may friends, family members, volunteers or other non-employees be allowed to use City computers, hardware or software. Similarly, City employees shall not store personal documents, photographs or other electronic files on their City computers or on the City servers. The City maintains virus protection software to protect City systems from loss of data. However, it is every employee's responsibility to be prudent users of electronic systems. Do not open E-mail message attachments or click links from unknown or questionable sources, do not respond to messages soliciting personal information, and do not visit websites that are not known to you to be safe.

Software viruses, frequently transmitted through copied or illegally obtained software and attachments to E-mail messages, can cause severe damage to computer systems. For Computer Use Policy Page 3 of6
this reason, no employee shall download executable files or programs. Only management personnel shall load software onto City computers.

Employees should store their working data files on the shared directory on the network, not on their individual hard drives. Files stored on the shared directory are backed up regularly and, if a computer failure should occur, lost files can be restored. Files stored on the individual hard drives are not backed up. If a computer failure occurs, and the individual employee has not backed up these files adequately, the City may experience the permanent loss of critical information.

Employees should use strong, unique passwords for accessing City equipment and communication systems and should not share their passwords with other individuals.

Additionally, employees should be sure their computer is left on, but logged out before leaving work each day to allow for necessary updates to occur.

When an employee separates employment with the City, their access to the network, Internet, Voice-mail, and work phones will be removed and may be assigned to another employee. New employees requiring computer, Internet and phone access will be provided only those files necessary to complete their required job tasks.

Any problems related to the use of computer and related equipment, the Internet, E-mail or work phones should be reported to the Information Systems Manager immediately.

The Information Systems Manager is responsible for providing equipment and software sufficient for employees to complete their tasks. Employees should not attempt to resolve network or computer problems, purchase hardware or software, or hire outside consultants to do the same without the express permission of the Information Systems Manager.

City Website
The City maintains its own website located at ci.anderson.ca.us. This website is maintained for the purpose of providing information to the public in a timely and convenient manner. It is the City's intent to keep the website up to date and accurate at all times. Employees should visit the website frequently to determine if updates are needed and consider additional information that could be provided to better serve the public.

When it is necessary to add, change, or delete information on the website, employees should provide the information, along with complete instructions, to their Department Head.

Data to be posted on the website must be in a file format acceptable to the City.

Acceptable file formats include image formats (JPEG, PNG, etc.) and Adobe Acrobat.

Consult the Information Systems Manager concerning other file types. Additionally, files should be the smallest size possible.

Computer Use Policy Page 4 of 6
Social Media and Public Communications
Employees should distinguish between their personal and professional communications when using social media or other public communication platforms. Personal opinions or views expressed on social media must not be presented as official positions, statements, or endorsements of the City. When engaging in personal social media activity, employees should make it clear that the opinions expressed are their own and not those of the City.

Employees are prohibited from using City logos, trademarks, or official City titles in their personal social media accounts to avoid any confusion about the source or authority of the communication.

Retention of Electronic Files
As a public agency, both sent and received E-mail messages are considered public documents subject to public disclosure laws as long as the City retains them.

Additionally, E-mail messages and other electronic files concerning City business that reside on a City of Anderson employee's computer, on the central computer servers, or at home or elsewhere, are considered public documents and subject to public disclosure laws because they relate to the conduct of public business. Employees should be aware that E-mail messages are subject to public inspection and messages should not contain information that would not be appropriate for public display.

The E-mail and phone systems are intended and designed to be a tool for transmission of information, not for storage of information. It is the City's policy to retain email messages based on the City's retention policy. E-mail that contains substantive information concerning City policies, decisions, proceedings, projects, or that may be useful later for carrying out City business should be retained in the City's files.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Rural communities consistently struggle with gaining the necessary funding for infrastructure improvements. On February 18, 2025 Councilmember Hale brought before Council the idea of sending a letter to government officials requesting prioritization of funding for rural communities in future grant opportunities. This was supported unanimously by the Council and direction was given to staff to prepare a letter. The government officials and organizations intended to receive the letter are the following:

I ATTACHMENTS
Draft Letter
ITEM 8.1 PAGE2 3/4/2025
March 4, 202 5
Members and Directors of the Trump Administration,
We are writing to urge your immediate attention to the critical infrastructure issues plaguing rural communities across the United States, particularly in California.

As you may be aware, many rural areas suffer from outdated and inadequate infrastructure, which severely impacts their economic development, safety, and quality of life. Roads, bridges, water systems, wastewater systems, and broadband access are in dire need of upgrades or repairs, yet these communities often lack the resources to address these issues independently.

Currently, the state of California, under the leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom, is grappling with a significant budget crisis. This situation has led to reduced state funding and denial of State funded grants for essential infrastructure projects in rural areas. Without state support, these communities are left with little to no avenues to address their pressing needs.

Given this context, we implore the administration to consider reallocating federal grant funding to prioritize these underserved rural regions. Due to these critical reasons:

1. Economic Development: Improved infrastructure will adequately serve local communities and stimulate local economies by attracting businesses, enhancing tourism, and providing better access to markets.

2. Public Safety: Upgrading infrastructure like roads and bridges can prevent accidents and ensure safer transportation for goods and people, especially in areas prone to natural disasters such as wildfires and floods.

3. Quality of Life: Better water systems, sewage treatment, and internet connectivity are fundamental for modern living, directly affecting residents' health and access to education and telemedicine.

Fax: (530) 378-6648

4. National Interest: Supporting rural America is not just about local improvement but also about securing national interests by ensuring that all parts of the country can contribute to and benefit from economic growth.

We understand the complexities of federal budgeting and the numerous competing demands for funds. However, the unique crisis in California, combined with the intrinsic challenges of rural infrastructure, presents a compelling case for federal intervention.

Please consider issuing specific grants or redirecting existing federal funds to support these communities directly, bypassing state-level budget constraints. This could involve:
- Direct grants for infrastructure projects.
- Low-to no interest loans for rural community projects. - Tax incentives for companies investing in rural infrastructure development.

Your leadership in this matter could set a precedent for how federal resources can be used to address regional disparities, ensuring that no American is left behind due to geographic or economic disadvantages while promoting America First growth.

Thank you for considering this urgent request. We are hopeful for your support in this initiative to uplift rural California and, by extension, strengthen the fabric of our nation.

Sincerely following your lead,

Article 7
Grievance Procedure

7.1 A grievance is defined as any dispute or disagreement which may arise between the Union or an employee and the City with respect to the interpretation or application of any of the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding, and with respect to such matters as the alleged discriminatory or arbitrary discharge, demotion or discipline of an individual regular 4 employee. Grievances shall be resolved pursuant to the prov1s1ons of this Article.

Probationary employees shall not be entitled to process grievances with respect to matters of discharge, demotion or discipline. This shall not, however, prevent a probationary employee from enforcing any other rights under this Memorandum of Understanding. Grievant as used herein is defined as an employee or group of employees of the City or the Union. 7 .2 Step One: The initial step in the adjustment of a grievance shall be a discussion between the grievant or the grievant's representative and the immediate management-level supervisor, who will answer within seven (7) days. This step shall be started within seven (7) days of the date of the action complained of, or the date the grievant became aware of the incident which is the basis for the grievance. This step may be taken during the working hours of the grievant.

7.3 Step Two: If a grievance is not resolved in the first step, the second step shall be the presentation of the grievance in writing by either the grievant or the grievant's representative to the department head, who shall answer, in writing, within seven (7) calendar days. The second step shall be taken within seven (7) calendar days of the date of the answer in Step One. The written presentation shall be a clear, concise statement of the grievance, the circumstances involved, the pertinent dates, the section of this Memorandum of Understanding alleged to be violated, and the specific remedy sought.

7.4 Step Three: If a grievance is not resolved in the second step, the third step shall be the presentation of the grievance, in writing, by either the grievant or the grievant's representative to the City Manager, who shall answer, in writing, within seven (7) calendar days. The second step shall be taken within seven (7) calendar days of the date of the answer in Step Two. The written presentation shall be a clear, concise statement of the grievance, the circumstances involved, the pertinent dates, the section of this Memorandum of Understanding alleged to be violated, and the specific remedy sought.

7.5 Step Four: If a grievance is not resolved in the third step, the fourth step shall be referral by the Union to mediation within seven (7) calendar days of the answer in Step Three.

Whenever a grievance is referred to mediation, either party may request that the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service refer a state mediator. The state mediator shall assist the parties in the resolution of the grievance in the same manner as that which is normally used in the mediation of interest disputes. Referral to Step Five shall not occur until a mediator has released the parties from the mediation process.

7.6(a) Step Five: If a grievance is not resolved in the fourth step, the fifth step shall be referral by the Union to arbitration. The fifth step shall be taken within seven (7) days of the date of the answer in Step Four.

7.6(b) An arbitrator shall be appointed on each occasion that a grievance is submitted to arbitration. In the event that the City and Union are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator, they shall request the State of California Mediation and Conciliation Service to nominate five (5) persons to be the arbitrator. The City and Union each will alternately challenge two (2) of such nominees, the party having the first challenge to be determined by lot. The remaining nominee shall be accepted as the arbitrator, and his compensation and 5 expenses shall be borne equally by the City and Union. The City and the Union shall pay the compensation and expenses of their respective appointees and witnesses. At Union's request the City shall release from duty to participate in arbitration proceedings employees necessary to the adjudication process. Expense items requested by both parties or the arbitrator such as court reporters, transcripts, or room rent shall be borne equally by the parties. Expense items requested by only one (1) party shall be paid for by the requesting party.

7.6(c) The arbitrator shall hold such hearings and shall consider such evidence as to the arbitrator appears necessary and proper. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the City, Union, and the aggrieved employee, provided, however, that such decision shall not in any way add to, disregard or modify any of the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding.

7.6( d) Grievances referred to arbitration that are appeals of disciplinary suspensions of five days or less, or a disciplinary action with an equivalent dollar value, shall be subject to expedited arbitration, with no attorneys, no court reporters, and an immediate bench decision made by the arbitrator.

7.7 Failure by the grievant or the Union to meet any of the aforementioned time limits will result in forfeiture of the grievance. Except, however, that the aforementioned time limits may be extended by mutual agreement. Failure by the City or its representative to meet any of the aforementioned time limits will allow the grievant or the Union, as applicable, to proceed to the next step of the grievance procedure within seven (7) days of the last day for the City's answer as set forth above.

7.8 A grievant shall in no way interfere with the right of the City to proceed in carrying out its management responsibilities subject to a final decision on the grievance. In the event the grievance involved an order, requirement or other directive, the grievant shall fulfill or carry out such order, requirements or directives, pending the final decision of the grievance.

7.9 All documents resulting from the processing of a grievance shall be kept in a separate grievance file and shall not be placed in an employee's personnel file.

ARTICLE 14
Demotion and Layoff

14.1 When it becomes necessary for the City to layoff regular employees, the City will give employees involved as much notice as possible; but in no event will such employees receive less than two (2) weeks' notice of layoff.

Within each classification, all employees, other than regular employees, shall be laid off prior to regular employees being laid off. Regular employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of City seniority with the least senior employee being laid off first.

14.2 An employee whose position has been abolished may elect to displace another employee in the bargaining unit provided the employee either is qualified to perform the duties of the other classification, or previously satisfactorily performed the duties of the other classification, and the employee has greater City seniority than the employee to be displaced.

Employees who elect to displace to another classification shall be probationary for six (6) months unless the employee has previously served at least six (6) months in the other classification. Whenever an employee demotes to a lower-paying classification the employee shall be placed on the salary step which has a wage rate closest to the employee's previous wage rate.

14.3 Laid-off employees' names shall be kept on a re-employment list for a period of one (1) year from the date of layoff, and shall have preferential re-hire rights to the classification from which laid off in the reverse order of layoff.

If an employee does not accept such offer of re-employment within seven (7) calendar days, the employee's name shall be removed from the re-employment list and the employee shall no longer have re-employment rights.
13 14.4 Employees who have elected to demote into a lower paying classification shall have preferential promotion rights to the classification from which they demoted in the reverse order of demotion for a period of one year from the date of the employee's demotion. If an employee does not accept an offer of promotion to the classification from which the employee was demoted, the employee will lose all preferential rights to re-promotion.

AGENDA ITEM
March 4. 2025, City Council Meeting
or Submittal By:

To:

Through:

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Anderson City Council Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager
From: Adam Whelen, Public Works Director
Date: March 4, 2025

I SUBJECT
Volonte Well Emergency Work -Authorization to Award

I RECOMMENDATION
The Public Works Director recommends that the City Council:

1. Approve this emergency work as a change order to the Anderson Park Village Consolidation Project contract to RTA Construction, Inc. for $1,500,000.00.

2. Approve the purchase of an emergency bypass pump to provide temporary water to the Southern Pressure Zone to Rockwell Engineering for $95,358.75

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract upon receipt of the required insurance certificates, payment bond, and performance bond.

4. Authorize the Public Works Director to approve change orders not to exceed 20% of this amount.

I FISCAL IMPACT
The Anderson Park Village Consolidation Project budget is $3,240,500.00, which includes $1,877,500.00 for construction, $375,500.00 for contingency, and $987,500.00 for soft costs. Soft costs include engineering, project management, and construction administration.

ITEM 8.9a PAGE1 3/4/2025
This project is covered under an existing agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board and an agreement with the Division of Financial Assistance (DFA).

The approved change order contingency for the Anderson Park Village Consolidation Project was only $375,500.00. The City will fund this emergency work from the Water Capital Improvement. The emergency well portion is estimated not to exceed $1,500.000.00, and the emergency bypass pump and associated materials is estimated not to exceed $150,000.00. The total fiscal impact is estimated to be $1,650,000.00.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
PACE Engineering and Sacramento State University approached the City of Anderson regarding partnering with Anderson Park Village Apartments to apply for a grant through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Anderson Park Village is the apartment complex at the southwest quadrant of the Bruce Drive/Emily Drive intersection. They are on a private well but want to be on municipal water.

The Anderson Park Village Consolidation project includes improvements to a small community public water system on the Anderson Park Village apartment complex property and improvements to the City's Volonte Well. The existing and deteriorating well used by the apartment complex would be abandoned, and the apartment complex would be connected to the City's public water system by installing a +/-50 foot waterline from the apartment complex to the City's existing water main in Bruce Drive.

The Volonte Well, constructed in 1974, requires repairs. The improvements needed at the site involve removing all above-ground structures and the existing fence. The 45-year-old pump must be replaced, and the well must be redeveloped. To achieve this, a new +/-300 square-foot concrete masonry building and slab will be constructed. In addition, a new well pump will be installed, and miscellaneous electrical upgrades will be carried out. A new generator will be installed to provide backup in an emergency, and perimeter fencing will be erected.

The City of Anderson staff, the Department of Water Resources, and the Division of Financial Assistance have completed and reviewed the 100% plans. PACE Engineering has included deductive bid items that will replace the SCADA water system Citywide and provide improvements to all well sites. This will enhance the reliability and control of the well-pumping infrastructure of the city reservoirs, ultimately resulting in better water management.

The Contractor (RTA) pulled the well pump at Volonte Well in early January 2025 and video-inspected the integrity of the well casing in anticipation of cleaning the well to improve specific capacity. At that time, there were concerns about whether the well could be cleaned due to the number and size of encrustations scattered throughout the entire depth of the well. These encrustations were also found to be plugging the perforations in the well casing, severely limiting the capacity of the Volonte well. The original video inspection report from January 10, 2025, is attached. On January 20, 2025, RTA's subcontractor, Well Industries, began brushing the well as one of the first steps in ITEM 8.9a PAGE2 3/4/2025
removing the encrustations. They brushed an approximate 20-foot section of the well casing and brought the brush back up to the surface to examine the brush for any signs of damage to the casing. When the brush was brought back to the surface, there were pieces of the well casing, along with sand and gravel from the formation, outside of the well casing. A second video inspection of the well was completed on January 24, 2025, which revealed several large holes scattered throughout the casing in the section that had been previously brushed, and the bottom of the well had filled with approximately seven feet of sand and gravel from the outside formation. This video inspection report is also included in attachment 2.

On January 24, 2025, during the video inspection, PACE requested Lawrence and Associates (L&A) to attend the video inspection as a third-party consultant. L&A is a private consulting firm with years of experience dealing with groundwater wells.

Following the video inspection, multiple options were discussed among RTA, Well Industries, PACE, L&A, and the City regarding how best to proceed with Volonte Well.

Below are the highlights from that discussion.

Both Well Industries and L&A agreed that a vertical turbine pump should not be reinstalled into the well for fear of sucking more of the surrounding formation into the well and collapsing the well altogether. The Emergency Bypass, which was included in the original project scope, is completed. The City tested how much water can be transferred from the northern pressure zone to the southern pressure zone at approximately 840-850 gpm, which exceeds the pumping rate of the Volonte Well, which was 720 gpm. The City is concerned about managing water demands without the Volante Well. The City's Highway 273 Well is the second well in this pressure zone. If anything happens to Highway 273 well, the City will be limited in supplying water to approximately 1,500 customers, including Anderson Park Village Apartments.

Both Well Industries and L&A agreed that lining Volonte well is not a viable solution. This option would only serve as a band-aid and could last years or only through this summer; it all depends on the integrity of the casing for the hosting well. Installing the liner would require more brushing of the well casing, which could potentially do even more damage, resulting in a complete well collapse. Due to this risk, Well Industries indicated they would not install the liner or perform any more brushing of the well casing.

Well Industries and L&A agreed that drilling a new well was the city's best, most costeffective option. The new well would have the same diameter and depth as the existing well and be approximately 50 feet to the east on property already owned by the City. Both Well Industries and L&A recommended stainless steel casing and screens to help with the longevity of the well. Fifty feet is the minimum distance that a new well can be drilled near an existing well due to the risk of collapsing the formation or either well column.

The City tested the emergency bypass facility utilizing a borrowed pump from the City of Redding. The City of Redding utilizes this pump for its water utility, so the City of Anderson needed to find a suitable one to rent or purchase. These specific pumps are not standard, and due to sanitary reasons, rental pumps are traditionally used for dewatering or bypass pumping for sanitary sewer systems. After reviewing rental rates and following a successful test, quotes were solicited from multiple vendors. Rockwell Engineering ITEM 8.9a PAGE3 3/4/2025
provided the lowest quote for purchasing a suitable pump that can meet the maximum daily demand, the total cost of this purchase is $95,358.75 including tax. Rockwell Engineering's proposal included the only solution that was NSF-61 certified, which is required for products that come in contact with drinking water. This pump is trailer mounted with its own fuel tank onboard; the proposed capacity should allow staff to run the pump only during the daytime, minimizing additional call-outs or overtime.

As such, the City requested additional funds from DFA to drill a new well that will allow the City to not only meet max daily demand for the City's southern pressure zone, including Anderson Park Village but also provide fire flow for the residential homes on the southwest side of the City in the high~severity fire zone. This request to DFA exceeded the maximum contingency amount, so the funding request was denied. DFA offered additional solutions, which would require a new contract with DFA, new bid and design documents, and establishing this as a new project under the competitive bidding process. DFA estimates receiving a new agreement would take 16 to 30 months if approved. DFA's response to emergency projects is to provide hauled or bottled water, severely restricting the amount of water customers can use.

Attachment 1 contains the additional project scope from PACE Engineering. Due to time constraints, the City has authorized PACE to proceed with some tasks. If an approved contract is executed before the middle of March, the contractor's availability to drill a new well is July 2025.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Anderson City Council Through: Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager
From: Adam Whelen, Public Works Director
Date: March 4, 2025
!SUBJECT
Water Rate Study Update

I RECOMMENDATION
The Public Works Director recommends that the Council;
Receive a staff report and presentation on Water Rate Study update.

I FISCAL IMPACT
None
!DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City of Anderson last increased rates for water consumption by Resolution No. 24-06, adopted on April 2, 2024. Under this resolution, minimum monthly and consumption charges were increased by 24% in 2024 and 2025, with a 6% increase in 2026 through 2028, depending upon meter size and location.

ITEM 8.9b PAGE1 3/04/2025
Since the water rate increase was passed, 72 service leaks have been repaired by City staff.

This has caused an increase in overtime and callouts due to leaks occurring after hours.

Previously, these would have been handled by an outside contractor at the prevailing wage rate for an average cost difference of 10 times more expensive than handled internally.

The city initially transitioned to automated meter reading (AMR) in 2010, and installation was completed in four phases over a year and a half. There has not been a proactive program to replace the registers and endpoints since they were installed in 2010 and 2011. The cost of the AMR program was $280,389 for Phase 1, $139,447 for Phase 2, and $215,545 for Phase

3. The total cost for just the construction effort was $635,381. When these projects were awarded, the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR CCI) fluctuated between 8677 and 8952. The current ENR CCI for February of 2025 is 13766, or an increase of 57% since 2010.

Due to each component's failures, staff has been replacing water meter registers and endpoints. When there is a failure with these items, staff must manually read the meter for consumption-based billing. So far, 873 endpoints, which cost $136.73 each for a total of $119,365.29, and 791 registers, which cost between $91.00 for up to 2" and $121.49 for sizes above 2" for a total of $80,291.00. The cost of those replaced is $199,661.54, which leaves 2866 left to replace or $260,806.00 for registers and $391,868.18 for the endpoints or $652,674.18. Based on the ENR CCI above, installation and materials would cost $997,548.17 if there was no register or endpoint cost increase over 15 years.

Currently, customers are charged $12.00 annually for their water meter fee, which hasn't changed since 2000. Based on the current pricing, the cost to replace a 5/8" or¾" meter is approximately $500. That means at a rate of$12.00 per year, it would take over 41 years for a customer to pay for a new water meter. Meters, endpoints, and registers should be replaced on a 10-year cycle to avoid failures.

The 2024 Water Rate study intended to increase rates to fund Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that would benefit the City and bolster the water infrastructure. However, due to the failures mentioned above and costly meter, endpoint, and register replacements, there is no additional revenue to fund the proposed immediate improvements. A budget of$654,250 for these immediate improvements was factored into the rate study.

Since 2006, 22,000 linear feet of water main have been proposed for replacement, and the Southern Pressure zone continues to rely on a one million-gallon water reservoir constructed in 1976. The 2006 Water Master Plan proposed that this reservoir be replaced by 2024. Additionally, the fee for installing a new water meter and appurtenances for a new single-family dwelling is charged at $110. This creates a deficit in the department expense budget that purchases the meters.
