MAYOR & COUNCIL MEMBER/ SUCCESSOR AGENCY/ ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION:
A. Review and Discuss Council Ethics & Values: Antony V. López, City Manager (Informational) Antony Lopez, City Manager went over the City Council Ethic & Values. Staff was directed to introduce Council Norms for use during public meetings to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the public's time. The draft Council Norms (Attachment A) introduced at the February 25, 2021, Council Meeting, but not formally adopted. Subsequently, the City Clerk noted that a set of Ethics & Values, as well as Principle, Norms, Standards and Best Practices "Council of Trust," were originally adopted by Resolutions in 2013 (Attachments B & C). As the Council continues to progress and modernize practices, such as digital agendas and virtual meetings, it may be time to fully review and revise the current norms and practices to meet current needs.
Staff is seeking direction from Council regarding the currently adopted norms, potential to add or revise the adopted practices, and the need to host another goal setting workshop which could be staff led or with assistance from a third party. It is the City Council Consensus to do a study session and discuss changes at that time.
B. Consider Partnership Request with Valley Voices for Candidates' Night Mr. Lopez reported that Ruth Lopez, Executive Director of Valley Voices approached him regarding the city's interests on availability of a city facility to hosting a makeshift FDQGLGDWHV¶QLJKW. The idea was to have candidates from Kings County come to Avenal that are running like District Attorney, Supervisors in our districts since Avenal is a neutral site. Also, we do not have anyone in our district running this year but you know we have been very initiative-taking in trying to get more information to our community Valley Voices as so they like to rent the Pegasus room and would like assistance from staff to have the interpretation available, help with the stream, and help with the setup. Ruth can give more details on that request.
Ruth Lopez Executive Director Valley Voices worked with the City of Avenal and School District hosts various vaccine clinics.
Valley Voices is a nonpartisan organization. So, we cannot enforce any political candidate or any political position. She thought that this would be another wonderful way to partner with the city to host candidates and who will affect our analysis people. The City of Avenal added infrastructure tech wise so even if they do not attend in person they can listen virtually. She hopes that candidates take this seriously. Also, make the tracks to Avenal is there going to represent us they should be able to reach all sectors of our communities no matter the distance. The week the first week of May.
Mr. Lopez commented that the city did work with Valley Voices on the redistricting. Also, Rotary agreed to work and collaborate with Valley Voices on this because it seems in the past Rotary used to do candidates night. Rotary jumped at the opportunity to be part of it and our role would be to assist with staff time and Valley Voices would end up renting out the Theater and having that set up.
After a brief, discussion The City Council was in consensus to collaborate with Valley Voices for candidate night at the Avenal Theater.
Antony Lopez, City Manager requested to move up New Business Item B. to Mayor & Council Member/Successor Agency Items for Consideration Item C. The City Council was in censuses to move up Item B. due to Mr. Dan Bergman, IGS Services has a 3-hour drive home.

Ronald Brumley, Utilities Supervisor reported that on March 14, 2022, a compliance order from the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) was received. Compliance order NO. 03_12_22R_001 is for a violation of the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM). The Local Running Annual Average (LRAA) MCL for TTHM is 80 ug/L one of our four sites (1 Kings Way) has exceeded the limit with a LRAA of 84.0 ug/L. Utilities staff is aware of the issue and is working on solutions.
Currently we have limited options available to resolve the issue but will do our best to get back into compliance within the next 6 months.
Staff will be exploring alternative treatment options to increase our ability to treat for TTHM in the future. Which will include treatment technique options such as aeration or enhanced coagulation. We will work with an engineering firm (not yet selected) to help find the best solution for our situation.
The following are some of the directives from the order which Staff is working diligently to complete and adhere to:

[This notice contains important information regarding your drinking water, please read the Spanish notice if it is included. If the Spanish notice is not included, please contact the water system and ask for a copy.)

City of Avenal has levels of Total Trihalomethanes Above Drinking Water Standards Our water system recently failed a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what you should do, what happened, and what we are doing to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results we received on 7/12/21 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for Total Trihalomethanes. The MCL standards for Total Trihalomethanes are 80 ug/L. The average level of Total Trihalomethanes over the last year was 87.5 What should I do?
x You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. x This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience liver, kidney, or central nervous system problems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. x If you have other health issues concerning the consumption of this water, you may wish to consult your doctor.
What happened? What was done?
The current water drought emergency has caused fluctuations in the raw water quality. These fluctuations make it difficult for the water treatment plants to remove the required amount of Total Organic Carbon (TOC). Additionally, there are naturally occurring organic material found in the water from the California Aqueduct, as this material combines with our primary disinfectant (chlorine), it forms trihalomethanes.
Without disinfection, the likelihood of a water customer contracting water borne illness could be serious and very high. We are working to minimize the formation of TTHM while ensuring we maintain an adequate level of disinfectant. Currently we have decreased tank levels to reduce the contact time and Attachment A

IMPO INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE SOBRE SU AGUA POTABLE
Este aviso contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable, por favor léalo bien.
El agua de la Ciudad de Avenal tiene niveles de Trihalometanos Totales que exceden el Estándar para Agua Potable
Recientemente se determinó que nuestro sistema de agua estaba en exceso del estándar para un contaminante.
Aunque esto no es una emergencia, usted como nuestro cliente, tiene el derecho de saber qué debe hacer, qué pasó, y qué estamos haciendo para corregir esta situación.
Hacemos monitoreo rutinariamente para detectar la presencia de contaminantes en el agua potable. Los resultados de las pruebas que recibimos en 7/12/21 muestran que nuestro sistema de agua excede el estándar, o nivel máximo de contaminantes (MCL), para Trihalometanos Totales. El estándar o MCL para Trihalometanos Totales es de 80 microgramos por litro (ug/L). El nivel promedio de Trihalometanos Totales para el año pasado fue 87.5
¿Qué debe hacer usted?
x Usted no necesita usar agua embotellada o otra alternativa de suministro de agua. x Este no es un riesgo inmediato. Si lo hubiera sido, usted hubiera sido notificado de inmediato. No obstante, algunas personas que a lo largo de muchos años usan agua que contiene trihalometanos en exceso del nivel máximo de contaminantes (MCL), pueden experimentar problemas del hígado, del riñón, o del sistema central nervioso, y su riesgo de que les de cáncer puede aumentar. x Si tiene otros problemas de salud respecto al consumo de esta agua, tal vez usted deba consultar con su doctor.
¿Qué pasó? ¿Qué se hizo al respecto?
La actual emergencia por sequía hídrica ha provocado fluctuaciones en la calidad del agua cruda. Estas fluctuaciones dificultan que las plantas de tratamiento de agua eliminen la cantidad requerida de Carbono Orgánico Total (TOC). Además, hay material orgánico natural que se encuentra en el agua del Acueducto de California, ya que este material se combina con nuestro desinfectante primario (cloro), forma trihalometanos.
Sin desinfección, la probabilidad de que un cliente de agua contraiga enfermedades transmitidas por el agua podría ser grave y muy alta. Estamos trabajando para minimizar la formación de TTHM al tiempo que nos aseguramos de mantener un nivel adecuado de desinfectante. Actualmente hemos disminuido los niveles del tanque para reducir el tiempo de contacto y también disminuiremos los residuos de cloro para ayudar a reducir la formación de TTHM. La Ciudad también está tomando medidas adicionales al Attachment B

x Open Public Hearing
x Discussion/Action: Approval by Resolutions
Rob Williams, Public Works Director reported that recently, California Public Contractors Code 7201 (b) (4) now states that "notwithstanding" any provisions of this subdivision, the retention proceeds withheld from any payment by the city from contractor may exceed 5 percent on specific projects. scheduled public hearing prior to bid that project is substantially complex and, therefore requires a higher retention amount than 5 percent and the city includes both this findings and actual retention amount in the bid amount Staff will go out for the following bids: Seventh Avenue Street Project (SR 269 to Highway 33). Community Building Project, Whitney Street - Sewer Pipeline and Manhole Projects; and 18" Sewer Replacement Pipeline and Manhole Projects. Staff recommends that 10% be withheld form payment rather than 5% allowed, therefore, the need to make a finding that 10% be withheld is justified.

RE: Updates Regarding Audits, City Warrants, and Financial Statements
INFORMATION:
Audit
Currently, Sotomayor & Associates continue working to finalize the Fiscal Year 19/20 audit. As of April 13, the principals of the firm, Carmen and Ivan Sotomayor, have indicated that the audit will be completed by the end of April.
Usually at this point, the 20/21 audit would have been completed by December of last year, but the audits continue to be behind.
Because of the complications and issues with Sotomayor & Associates, Staff has contacted Price Paige and Company to assist us with having the audits expedited by working with both the City and Sotomayor & Associates. Price Paige and Company ZDVWKH&LW\¶V previous auditors prior to our current auditors Sotomayor and Associates ± they are familiar with municipal finances and assisting with the software the City uses as well as clearing up processes during transitions.

RE: Consider Extending Local Emergency Declaration (COVID-19) INFORMATION:
On March 24, 2020, the Avenal City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-14 declaring a Local Emergency due to the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency: COVID 19 pandemic. Although case numbers have dropped to the single digits in Avenal, not all restrictions have been lifted, and the finding below is still required to be made to allow Councilmembers to attend meetings virtually.
The declaration is required to be reviewed to consider the following action: 1) reaffirm that a local emergency continues to exist; or, 2) make a finding that a local emergency no longer exists.
On October 28, 2021, the Avenal City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-48 to satisfy AB 361 in order to continue Teleconferenced Meetings. AB 361 provides that, if the state of emergency remains active for more than 30 days, a local agency must make the following ILQGLQJVE\PDMRULW\YRWHHYHU\GD\VWRFRQWLQXHXVLQJWKHELOO¶VH[HPSWLRQWRWKH%URZQ$FW teleconferencing rules
x The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and x Either of the following circumstances exist: The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.
At this time, staff is recommending the City Council consider the following action by motion:
Approve and support the ongoing local emergency Resolution, and specifically, move to renew the emergency Resolution by sixty (60) days, unless a Councilmember or member of the public request that the Council convene to consider the ongoing emergency Resolution, at which time a special meeting would be scheduled.
Additionally, that the Council find that a state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, and that State and local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.

The declaration is required to be reviewed to consider the following action: 1) reaffirm that a local emergency continues to exist; or, 2) make a finding that a local emergency no longer exists.
On February 26, 2022, USBR published the water allocation for the 2022-2023 water year for Municipal & Industrial (M&I), being 25% of historic use. For the City of Avenal, 25% of 2,480 acre feet is 620 acre feet ± QRWHQRXJKWRPHHWWKH&LW\¶VQHHGVWKURXJK-XQH. Staff is awaiting response from USBR regarding additional allocation that could be provided as Public Health & Safety (PH&S).
By continuing the local emergency due to drought conditions, this action helps to show the Bureau that the City takes the drought emergency seriously and helps them accommodate the necessary Public Health & Safety water needs to the City.
Staff is recommending the City Council consider the following action by motion:

a. Description, quantity, capabilities, and purchase cost i. REMINGTON 870 LESS LETHAL SHOTGUN, cost: $946, quantity: 11.
The Remington 870 Less Lethal Shotgun is used to deploy the less lethal 12-gauge Super-Sock Beanbag Round up to a distance of 75 feet. The range of the weapon system helps to maintain space between officers and a suspect reducing the immediacy of the threat which is a principle of De-escalation.
ii. 12-GAUGE SUPER-SOCK BEANBAG ROUND, cost: $5, quantity: 500 A less lethal
2.4-inch 12-gauge shotgun round firing a ballistic fiber bag filled with 40 grams of lead shot at a velocity of 270-290 feet per second (FPS). CTS Super-Sock rounds are discharged from a dedicated 12-gauge shotgun. This round provides accurate and effective performance when fired from the approved distance of not fewer than five (5) feet. The maximum effective range of this munition is up to 75 feet from the target. The Model 2581 Super-Sock is in its deployed state immediately upon exiting the barrel.
It does not require a minimum range to "unfold" or "stabilize." The Super-Sock is an aerodynamic projectile. However, accuracy is relative to the shotgun, barrel length, environmental conditions, and the operator. The Super-Sock is very accurate. However, effectiveness depends on many variables, such as distance, clothing, stature, and the point where the projectile impacts.
