AGENDA REPORT

MEETING
DATE:

November 10, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anna Nicholas, Finance Director

PREPARED
BY:

Anna Nicholas, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Awarding and Approving an Agreement for Debt Collection Services with Pacific Credit Services (Finance Director Nicholas)

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Adoption of Resolution No. 3578-25 awarding and approving the Professional Services Agreement with Pacific Credit Services of Sacramento, California, in a form approved by the City Attorney, and authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

BACKGROUND
The City desires to enter into an agreement with a qualified proposer of debt collection services. CB Merchant Services was the company in use for debt collection services by the City until Synergetic Communications Inc. acquired CB Merchant Services, including the existing accounts. During the years of the Covid-19 pandemic, the City slowed its referrals of accounts to the external debt collection agency. This, along with not having been through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process in several years, prompted the decision to issue an RFP to reach the current marketplace of debt collection companies and get the best proposal for the City. The City issued a Request for Proposal for Debt Collection Services on July 7, 2025.

ANALYSIS
The City issued the RFP for Debt Collection Services on July 7, 2025, and received a total of six responses from qualified firms.

Agenda Report - Awarding and Approving an Agreement for Debt Collection Services with Pacific Credit Services (Finance Director Nicholas) Page 2

PCS, formerly Credit Bureau Associates, has been in business since 1947. The current owner of PCS is Kelstin Group, Inc. a California Corporation owned by Kelly ParsonsO'Brien, President and Justin Cullum, Vice President. PCS has experience in a variety of industries, including servicing municipal clients in California. In addition, PCS provides complimentary staff training on customer service, payment negotiations and process improvements by Kelly Parsons-O'Brien, a recognized industry educator for the California Association of Collectors and California Municipal Revenue & Tax Association.

Once the City enters into agreement with PCS, the City will be able to resume referrals of debt to the external collection agency, PCS, to pursue revenue recovery for the City utilizing tools such as credit reporting and skiptracing that can be deployed. The initial phases of this process will involve staff training, account analysis, and establishing the processes and procedure for the transfer of debt. Having an established debt collection agency in place as a vendor with the City provides an additional method of collecting debt such as unpaid utility bills, citations, and other miscellaneous items.

II. FISCAL IMPACTS:

There is no upfront fiscal impact associated with this agreement. There will be positive revenue recovery for the City and the collection agency will be paid through that revenue recovery. Accounts placed directly by the City to PCS would incur a contingency fee, which is the percent of the amount collected. The contingency fee is twenty percent (20%).

III. LEGAL REVIEW:

This item has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

IV. EXISTING POLICY:

This item directly supports the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan section 1.1.d "Optimizing existing revenue streams". In addition, this is an opportunity for the City to actively work on 1.1.b of the Strategic Plan, which is reviewing and updating policies as necessary.

Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subconsultants, as applicable.

c. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.

arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor.

16. Laws and Venue.

This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

If any action is brought to interpret or enforce any term of this Agreement, the action shall be brought in at the Superior Court of California for the County of Merced.

17. Termination or Abandonment

City shall pay Consultant the reasonable value of services rendered for any portion of the work completed prior to termination. If said termination occurs prior to completion of any task for the Project for which a payment request has not been received, the charge for services performed during such task shall be the reasonable value of such services, based on an amount mutually agreed to by City and Consultant of the portion of such task completed but not paid prior to said termination. City shall not be liable for any costs other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein. Consultant shall not be entitled to payment for unperformed services, and shall not be entitled to damages or compensation for termination of work.

Buhach Road to Olive Avenue (4.82 miles).

The project is proposing the 30% conceptual design of the entire ALCT from Buhach Road to Olive Avenue and 100% design and construction of the portion the ALCT from Shaffer Road to Bellevue Road (approximately 0.5 miles), adjacent to Osborn Park.

Osborn Park has some planned improvements that will provide additional recreational opportunities that can be integrated into the proposed trial design.

The trail would run on the south side of canal and would be 8-12 feet in width (travel way) with a minimum two-foot-wide shoulder all weather surface material that is free of vegetation. The project will also include ADA- assessable entrances to the trail from Bellevue Road and Shaffer Road along with wayfinding signage and solar lighting.

WHEREAS, the City has a vacancy at the position of Community Development Director, a regular position for which the City is conducting a recruitment for a permanent appointment; and WHEREAS, the City has an immediate need for an employee to temporarily perform the position of Community Development Director, a position involving specialized skills and training and which is critically necessary to the on-going duties and functions of the City; WHEREAS, Employee is competent and qualified to perform the services required by this Agreement, and City wishes to have Employee perform the Community Development Director duties on an interim basis; and
WHEREAS, Employee’s employment as interim Community Development Director is authorized by Government Code section 21221(h), which permits the City to appoint a CalPERS retired annuitant to a vacant position requiring specialized skills during recruitment for a permanent replacement.

AGREEMENT

1. Appointment and Scope of Services. Employee has been appointed as interim Community Development Director by the City Council, and shall temporarily perform the functions of Community Development Director, a position involving highly-specialized and criticallyneeded skills set forth in the attached job description, in the City’s Municipal Code, and as provided by law.

This Agreement shall expire as of the first of the following to occur: (i) upon the employment commencement date of a permanent Community Development Director employed by City; or (ii) upon termination of the Agreement by either Employee or City as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement.

Employee or the City. Employee is not eligible for any severance payment or benefit relating to or arising out of the termination of this Agreement.

3. Compensation and Work Schedule.

A. Rate of Pay. Employee shall be paid at the rate of $79.2755 per hour. The City has confirmed that this rate is not less than the minimum, nor in excess of the maximum, paid by the City to other employees performing comparable duties (divided by 173.333 to equal an hourly rate) as listed on the City’s publicly-available pay schedule. Payments will be made on regularly scheduled City payroll dates, and shall be subject to all applicable payroll taxes and withholdings. Such compensation shall be the sole compensation for Employee’s services under this Agreement.

B. Work Schedule and 960-hour Limitation. Employee is expected to devote necessary time, within and outside normal business hours, to the business of the City.

Employee will be responsible for keeping track of the number of hours worked on a time sheet form provided by the City and submitting them at least every two weeks.
ii. The position to which Employee is appointed is a temporary, hourly assignment which shall not exceed 40 hours per week. The City, through the City Manager, will assign Employee hours to work. Due to the nature of the position, it is understood that the work day and work week hours may vary, however Employee shall not work overtime (i.e. hours in excess of 40 per week) without specific authorization by the City Manager.
iii. The City and Employee anticipate that Employee will primarily work a four-day per week schedule, as determined by the City Manager with additional work as necessary to provide reasonable availability to City Manager and to address urgent matters within a 32-40 hour per week time frame. The City and Employee acknowledge that this work will include hours outside of regular business hours including, without limitation, attendance at regular and special City Council meetings and attendance at such community events and City functions as the City Manager may direct.

4. Employment Status and Benefits.

A. Benefits. Other than the compensation described above in Section 3, Employee will receive no other benefits, incentives, compensation in lieu of benefits, or

3 of 7
83744.00100\44281528.1

Employee further understands that he acquires no property interest in his employment by virtue of this Agreement, that the employment is “at will” as defined by the laws of the State of California (meaning that he can be terminated at any time for any reason or for no reason), and that he is not entitled to any pre- or post-deprivation administrative hearing or other due process upon termination or any disciplinary action except as otherwise provided by law.

D. Employment of a Retiree. Employee understands that CalPERS retired annuitants may be employed by any CalPERS public agency employer, by temporary appointment to position(s) not to exceed 960 hours in any fiscal year for all such employers; either (1) during an emergency to prevent stoppage of public business, or (2) because the retired employee has skills needed in performing work of limited duration. In the event Employee is providing services to any other CalPERS public agency employer during the term of this Agreement, Employee must notify the City of commencing such employment and disclose on a periodic basis (at a frequency determined by the City) the number of hours Employee is performing for that other public agency to ensure that the maximum number of hours is not exceeded.

AGENDA REPORT

MEETING
DATE:

November 10, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christopher Hoem, City Manager

PREPARED
BY:

Christopher Hoem, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopting an Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.16 “Low Density Residential Districts” of the Atwater Municipal Code to adjust the Minimum Lot Depth (City Manager Hoem)

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Adoption of Ordinance No. CS 1076 amending Chapter 17.16 “Low Density Residential Districts” of the Atwater Municipal Code to adjust the Minimum Lot Depth in Section

17.16.050 of this chapter and add definitions for knuckle lots and cul-de-sac lots in Chapter 17.06).

I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

This is the second reading of the Ordinance, the first reading was completed at the Regular City Council meeting of October 27, 2025.

The regulations for site plans were first adopted in 1975 and last revised in 2023. While other nearby cities have modernized their corresponding regulations, the City of Atwater is due for an update to ensure consistency with contemporary development standards.

Currently, the Atwater Municipal Code does not include definitions for “knuckle lots” or “cul-de-sac lots,” nor does it specify minimum lot depths for them (see Exhibit A). This Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment proposes to update the Code to include these definitions and establish appropriate minimum lot depth standards in Chapter 17.06.

II. ANALYSIS:

Many residential subdivision projects, particularly those involving larger developments, include knuckle lots and cul-de-sac configurations. However, the Code does not currently include definitions and minimum lot depth standards for such lots.

Mike Nelson, Mayor
Danny Ambriz Brian Raymond
John Cale Kalisa Rochester

Agenda Report - Adopting an Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.16 “Low Density Residential Districts” of the Atwater Municipal Code to adjust the Minimum Lot Depth (City Manager Hoem) Page 2

The amendment adds the following definitions to the Atwater Municipal Code:

17.06.327 Knuckle Lot: A lot located at the curved turning point or bend of a roadway, typically within a cul-de-sac or curved street alignment, resulting in an irregular lot shape.

17.06.188 Cul-de-sac: A street that is closed at one end.

The amendment also establishes the following minimum lot depths in low-density residential zones:

Zone Knuckle Lot (ft) Cul-de-sac Lot (ft)
R-E 120 110
R-1-10 90 80
R-1-8 90 80
R-1-6 90 80
R-1-5 90 80
These changes clarify the Atwater Municipal Code to include specific lot depth requirements for knuckle and cul-de-sac lots.

The following documents are attached to this staff report:

1. Draft Ordinance

2. Exhibit A (Proposed Chapter 17.06, “Definitions”)

3. Exhibit B (Proposed Section 17.16.050)
