ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST TAYLOR BRITT provided the report as filed to the City Clerk's office.

MAYOR SILVA closed the public hearing at 8:00 p.m.

MAYOR PRO TEM NOBLE
- Asked about the profit generated from recycling.

ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST TAYLOR BRITT
- Clarified that the annual report indicates it costs more to process recycling than the profit generated. She noted that she can provide those specific numbers if necessary.

CITY ATTORNEY ANDREW L. JARED
- Explained that the reason there is not a public hearing regarding the increase tonight is that a public hearing was held several years ago, as required. He added that the rate study initiated the process for annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate increases.

CITY MANAGER ROCHELLE CLAYTON
- Clarified that the rate increase requested by Burrtec is $1.71 on the monthly rate to customers, resulting in a total increase of 3.28%.
- Stated that there is currently approximately a $500,000 surplus, and the cost of the 3.28% increase is estimated to be between $220,000 and $250,000, which the surplus can absorb. - Mentioned that Proposition 2018 was conducted in 2024 and covered 5 years. - Noted that if approved, this increase would take effect on July 1, 2026.

COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ
- Inquired if the surplus could be used for a one-time cost-of-living adjustment during this period.

Motion made by MAYOR PRO TEM NOBLE to approve the request by Burrtec Waste Industries for a CPI increase of 3.28% to existing rates for waste collection and recycling services and a rate increase of $1.71.

SUBSEQUENT motion made by MAYOR SILVA, seconded by COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ, to approve the CPI increase of 3.28% to Burrtec but to hold off on the residential rate increase of $1.71 to the public at this time.

COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ
- Expressed concerns about fairness, stating that it is not right to place this burden on residents when there is a surplus, especially given the current rate of inflation at 4.2%.

MAYOR SILVA
- Added that since there is a surplus, the rate not increasing for this one year would maintain the surplus. He expressed that it would not be fair to pass the rate increase to residents at this time.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS
- Expressed the importance of ensuring that both the council and the community are focused on the future and understanding the costs associated with services.

COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ
- Inquired whether it is true that landfill fees are decreasing. - Mentioned that there is pending legislation regarding organics, which will provide reimbursements to companies like Burrtec from the state.

- Noted that in the Solid Waste calculations, the $1.71 figure was included in the proposed budget; adding revenues would decrease by about $250,000, which would bring the reserve down to around $250,000.

FINANCE DIRECTOR SYDNIE HARRIS*
- Clarified that the update aligns with the California State Investments Authority; therefore, when the city modified the investment policy, it referred to the California State Investments Authority’s guidelines, meaning any changes they implement must also be reflected in the city’s Investment Policy.

SPEAKERS

MIKE HERNANDEZ, BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA
- Expressed some concerns regarding the proposed budget presented.

MAYOR PRO TEM NOBLE
- Asked why certain funds are being transferred to the General Fund.

FINANCE DIRECTOR SYDNIE HARRIS
- Responded that this decision stemmed from recommendations by the council. While reviewing some costs, staff noticed splits between the General Fund and Measure Q, and therefore funds are being returned to the General Fund. These funds can be moved easily and make more financial sense, and staff will continue to evaluate what other funds can be transferred back.

CITY MANAGER ROCHELLE CLAYTON
- Emphasized the need for sustainability, considering the numerous additions to the budget, urging caution about what is assigned to Measure Q.

DISCUSSIONS

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS
- Commended staff for their diligent budget preparation and accurate projections, noting that the City of Barstow outperforms surrounding cities in this regard. - Thanked Council Member Hernandez for his leadership of the finance committee.

MAYOR PRO TEM NOBLE
- Agreed with Council Member Williams’ remarks and expressed gratitude to staff for their efforts.

MAYOR SILVA
- Requested clarification on the $4.3 million discrepancy observed in the year-over-year reserves from 2024 to 2026, as mentioned by Mr. Hernandez.

FINANCE DIRECTOR SYDNIE HARRIS
- Explained that the items presented in the budgets are merely snapshots based on estimates. The budget projected reflects anticipated balances at the end of the year before it concludes. Once the year-end period passes, and the accounting books are closed and audited, staff then reviews and adjusts the actual balance, which might lead to changes between reporting periods. However, staff strives to ensure accuracy in their projections.

CITY MANAGER ROCHELLE CLAYTON
- Clarified that the $6.2 million for Measure Q represents the beginning fund balance for Fiscal Year 2026, indicating the balance as of July 1, 2025.

26. RESOLUTION ADOPTING A POLICY FOR PROCEDURE FOR ADDRESSING SERVICE

DISRUPTIONS TO TELEPHONIC OR INTERNET COVERAGE OF MEETINGS OF THE CITY

COUNCIL
Recommended Action:

Adopt the proposed resolution 5308-2026, as required by Senate Bill 707, establishing a policy for technology disruptions impacting public participation during City Council meetings.

CITY ATTORNEY ANDREW JARED
- Presented the item, which implements the requirements of Senate Bill 707, effective July 1, 2026.

The legislation amends the Brown Act to require that city council meetings of eligible legislative bodies-those in counties with populations exceeding 600,000-be broadcast via a two-way audio/video platform (such as Zoom) to allow remote public participation. The Barstow City Council qualifies as an eligible body; most commissions do not.

The policy addresses disruptions to the city's transmission capability. If a disruption lasting more than two minutes is identified, the meeting must pause. The default break period is one hour, during which staff attempts to restore service. If service is restored before the hour expires, the meeting may resume immediately. If service cannot be restored within the hour, the Council may vote to continue the meeting upon making a formal finding that the public interest in proceeding outweighs the interest in remote access-a finding that must be recorded in the minutes with specific required language. The policy also addresses the scenario of a quorum being lost during such a break, directing the clerk to announce and adjourn the meeting consistent with the Brown Act.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROSE, BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA
- Asked about the obligation of Council Members to remain present during the break period, and the CITY ATTORNEY JARED confirmed this is a policy decision the Council may codify.

COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ
- Asked about justification for continuing a meeting when technical service is not restored.

CITY ATTORNEY ANDREW JARED
- Confirmed the Council would need to deliberate whether the public interest requires continuing with the meeting's business.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROSE
- Confirmed that the specific finding language read into the record is required verbatim under state law.

MAYOR SILVA
- Noted that the First Amendment right to address a public body is not limited to city residents, affirming that out-of-area speakers are entitled to comment.

MIKE HERNANDEZ, BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA

MAYOR SILVA and COUNCIL MEMBER ROSE both addressed the non-resident speaker question, confirming that members of the public, regardless of residency, may speak at public meetings.

27. FOGLESONG FIELDS NAMING TO HONOR BARSTOW FIRST RESPONDERS Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the Barstow City Council adopt Resolution No. 5309-2026. - Name Foglesong East Field as Barstow Police Field
- Name Foglesong West Field as Barstow Fire Protection District Field Authorize the City Manager or her designee to use up to $3,500 from the Planned Community Promotion Fund (Account No. 1005007-5755) to execute all necessary documents and agreements, purchase signage and installation materials, and plan a dedication event. Further authorize allocation of staff resources and funds to organize a dedication ceremony for the fields, to be attended by the Barstow City Council and the general public.

ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER CHAPA
- Presented a proposal to rename the two newly refurbished Foglesong Park baseball fields in honor of Barstow's first responders. The proposed resolution would designate Foglesong East Field as the "Barstow Police Field" and Foglesong West Field as the "Barstow Fire Protection District Field." Staff also requested authorization to use up to $3,500 from the Community Promotion Fund to fabricate and install signage and plan a formal dedication ceremony. - Staff disclosed that during research, records indicated one of the fields was previously named for Sam Nasario, a World War II veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor, likely in the mid-to-late 1970s under the former parks district. No formal resolution was located, but newspaper clippings and physical signage were found. Staff noted the original sign was believed to be associated with the snack bar and would be located and reinstalled or replaced. The name "Dyer Field," referenced in public comment, had not been confirmed by any documentation in staff's research.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS
- Asked both chiefs what the renaming would mean to their departments; both POLICE CHIEF KIRBY and FIRE CHIEF CISNEROS expressed that it would boost morale and provide recruiting visibility.
- Suggested the fields could become a pathway to inspire student athletes toward first responder careers and proposed a future friendly competition between the departments.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROSE
- Raised the question of honoring fallen first responders and suggested the signage or a future addition incorporate recognition of those who gave their lives in service, including language such as "honoring our first responders past, current, and future." Both chiefs expressed support.

CHIEF KIRBY
- Noted that while the Barstow Police Department has not lost an officer directly in the line of duty, several officers have been shot and injured, and many distinguished predecessors have since passed.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROSE
- Requested consideration of recognizing Gold Star mothers, naming local examples.

SPEAKERS

MIKE HERNANDEZ, BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA
- Supported honoring past police and fire leadership, specifically naming former CHIEF SONNY DAVIS and FIREFIGHTER JIM BELLAMY.

TED WEASMA, BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA
- Supported the concept but asked the Council to ensure that any previously named individualswhether formal or informal-be acknowledged rather than forgotten, and that signage reflect that heritage.

MAYOR SILVA
- Confirmed that staff would research the Dyer family naming and locate the Nasario sign for reinstallation at the snack bar.

The Council reached consensus to proceed with the naming and to direct staff to explore incorporating recognition of fallen or retired first responders into the signage design or a future addition.

28. ROUTE 66 PROJECT UPDATES
Recommended Action:

Receive Report Presentation and Provide Feedback to Staff.

ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER CHAPA
- Presented a consolidated update covering Items 28 through 31, all related to the Route 66 Main Street revitalization effort. He recapped that at the July 7 meeting, staff had presented a modified project scope reducing the Main Street resurfacing from the original 1st Avenue to 7th Avenue down to 1st Avenue to Barstow Road, in order to meet the revised funding timeline. The modified project estimate is approximately $1,000,000, funded through approximately $600,000 from Measure I for street improvements and approximately $400,000 from the Community Promotion Fund (sourced from cannabis revenues) for beautification elements including planters, benches, shade canopies, and intersection graphics-many of which have already been ordered.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS HELDRETH
- Clarified in response to public comment that Measure I funds may only be spent on the Main Street rehabilitation project itself, not on the park or parking lot. The Community Promotion Fund supports both the pocket park (referred to informally as "Centennial Park") and the improvements in the parking lot. When the pending HUD appropriation funds arrive, they may be directed toward additional Route 66 improvements or median work at the Council's discretion, but cannot replenish Measure I.

COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ
- Regarding the pocket park, asked for clarification on the parking lot layout.

The Council discussed naming the pocket park.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS
- Suggested consulting the public and offering "Veterans Park" as a possibility given its proximity to the Marine Corps base route.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROSE
- Supported a veteran-themed name and suggested recognizing Gold Star mothers with future plaques.

MAYOR PRO TEM NOBLE
- Proposed a 30-day public survey with a few staff-recommended options pushed through city social media and Channel 6 to gather community input.

The Council directed staff to conduct a brief public poll and return with a recommended name.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS
- Also raised the possibility of relocating an existing metal memorial plate listing Barstow residents who served in various wars, currently at Stringham Park football field, into the pocket park landscaping as a future enhancement once additional funding becomes available.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS HELDRETH
- Indicated this could be accommodated through the decomposed granite landscaping design with a placeholder for future installation.
- Explained that the lot, accessed from the alley, will contain one row of stalls totaling seven spaces plus one van-accessible ADA stall, and a small additional motorcycle area, with the alley maintained clear behind. He confirmed the layout was surveyed and designed by the city engineer - Noted the city also owns parking lots behind the Mercado Mall, on 2nd Street near Clemmer Services, and behind the Village Cafe area, which could be used and better advertised during events.

SPEAKERS

MIKE HERNANDEZ, BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA
- Asked for clarification on how the funds will be appropriated for the project.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS HELDRETH
- Stated Measure I Money cannot be spent in the park or the parking lot; Measure I will only be spent on the Main Street project, the other fund staff was referring to is the community benefit promotional fund which is the one funding the park and parking lot When the pending HUD appropriation funds arrive, they may be directed toward additional Route 66 improvements or median work at the Council's discretion, but cannot replenish Measure I.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS
- Praised staff extensively for managing the parallel projects within budget.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROSE
- Specifically credited cannabis business owner Tiffany Wilhoit for her long-standing advocacy for using cannabis revenues toward a splash pad and other community amenities.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS HELDRETH
- Confirmed that quotes were received for a splash pad and based on current fund estimates, it remains financially feasible alongside the current park improvements.

29. REJECTION OF INFORMAL BIDS AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE BIDS FOR MAIN STREET REHABILITATION - 1ST AVE. TO BARSTOW ROAD PROJECT (PROJECT #ENCD26-0042) Recommended Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Reject all informal bids received for the Main Street Rehabilitation - 1st. Ave. to Barstow Road Project (Project #ENCD-26-0042).

2. Authorize the advertisement of the formal bid for the Main Street Rehabilitation - 1st. Ave. to Barstow Road Project (Project #ENCD-26-0042) per the tentative bid schedule and establish a bid authorization date of July 21, 2026, in order for the project to remain active.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS HELDRETH
- Explained that three bids were received by the July 15 deadline for the Main Street rehabilitation informal bid, but all came in above the $220,000 informal bid threshold. Staff therefore requested rejection of all informal bids and Council authorization to re-advertise under the formal bid process beginning July 22. Under the proposed bid schedule, a contract award could occur at the August 18 Council meeting, with construction targeted for completion by the last week of September, allowing sufficient time before the Main Street USA Route 66 centennial event in October and the city's centennial celebration in November.

MAYOR PRO TEM NOBLE
- Asked if this will prevent any modifications or beautification of the city, or if it will interfere with any other agency or projects.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS HELDRETH
- Confirmed that the grinding and overlay process itself would be completed within a few days, with the key constraint being a 7–10-day cure period required before striping, to prevent paint discoloration from oils bleeding through new asphalt. Staff also anticipated that a partial road closure of Main Street may be necessary to meet the timeline and indicated this would be coordinated with the winning contractor, with appropriate public notice.

SPEAKERS

MIKE HERNANDEZ, BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA
- Asked whether the project is extending from 1st Street to Barstow Road rather than from 1st Street to 7th Street. Mentioned that much of the curb and gutter has been damaged and inquired if all of this will be replaced. Additionally, wanted to know if the work will be completed within the designated timeframe.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS HELDRETH
- Confirmed in response to public comment from Mr. Mike Hernandez that curb repair along the corridor would be included in the formal bid scope, as the project is now above the informal bid threshold and the scope can be expanded. Curb repair will be accomplished by cutting into existing concrete, epoxying tie bars, and placing new curbing adjacent to existing infrastructure RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]

- Addressed recent social media activity regarding the city's curfew ordinance, clarifying that it is an existing Barstow Municipal Code provision, not a new law, prohibiting unaccompanied minors under 18 from being in public between 10 PM and daylight hours, with limited exceptions. The reminder was prompted by an uptick in juvenile crime during the summer months.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS
- Raised concerns about retail theft at local stores, including Dollar Tree and Marshalls, and noted that many thefts are not being reported to police due to corporate liability policies. Asked CHIEF KIRBY to revisit those businesses at the corporate level alongside the mayor.

AGENDA MATTER:

APPROVAL OF TRAVEL TO THE 2026 LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND DESIGNATION OF THE CITY’S VOTING DELEGATE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council is being asked to approve travel for Mayor Timothy Silva and Elected City Clerk Andrea Flores to attend the 2026 League of California Cities Annual Conference, scheduled for September 23- 25, 2026, in Anaheim, California. The City Council is also being asked to designate Mayor Silva as the City of Barstow’s voting delegate for the Annual Business Meeting.

DISCUSSION:

City Council approval is required for attendance at conferences, seminars, or meetings involving travel outside San Bernardino County when City funds will be used to pay the related expenses.

The 2026 League of California Cities (Cal Cities) Annual Conference is scheduled for September 23-25, 2026, in Anaheim, California. Participation in this statewide event will strengthen the City’s ability to address local challenges, advocate for Barstow’s interests, and remain informed about legislative and regulatory developments affecting California municipalities.

The Annual Conference provides educational programming for elected and appointed officials, including sessions addressing emerging issues, legislative updates, best practices, and available municipal resources. Attendance provides City representatives with opportunities to participate in policy discussions, receive training, network with other municipal leaders, and gather information that may assist with local decision-making.

A central component of the conference is the Annual Business Meeting, during which Cal Cities members consider and act upon resolutions establishing the organization’s policy positions. Under the Cal Cities bylaws, each member city must designate a voting delegate and may appoint up to two alternates through formal City Council action. The voting delegate and any alternates must be registered conference attendees.

At least one designated representative must attend the Annual Business Meeting and possess the City’s voting card to cast the City’s vote. Registered voting delegates and alternates will receive credentials on their conference badges confirming their voting authority.

Mayor Silva currently serves as the City’s appointed representative to Cal Cities. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize Mayor Silva and Elected City Clerk Flores to attend the conference and designate Mayor Silva as the City’s voting delegate for the 2026 Annual Business Meeting. The City Council may also appoint up to two registered conference attendees as alternate voting delegates.

The estimated related travel expenses are as follows

AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

APPROVAL OF THREE-YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT WITH DELL TECHNOLOGIES FOR NEW POLICE MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS (MDC).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a three-year lease agreement with Dell Technologies for the 20 police Mobile Data Computers (MDC), including mounting brackets, for use in police department patrol vehicles.

DISCUSSION:

The police department is requesting approval to enter into a three-year lease agreement for 20 new mobile computes and mounting brackets for installation in department patrol vehicles. This agreement is necessary to replace outdated computers currently installed in the fleet that have reached the end of their useful life. The existing computers are obsolete and can no longer be repaired because compatible parts and manufacturer support are no longer available.

Replacing these outdated systems will provide officers with reliable, up-to-date technology that supports daily law enforcement operations, including access to computer-aided dispatch (CAD), records management systems (RMS), report writing, and other mission-critical applications while in the field. The new equipment will improve reliability, reduce downtown, and help ensure officers have dependable access to the technology needed to perform their duties safely and efficiently.

No separate Request for Proposal (RFP) was conducted because the procurement is being made pursuant to a cooperative purchasing agreement through NASPO, which allows participating public agencies to utilize competitively solicited contracts established through the cooperative purchasing program. Dell Technologies is used for all City computers, and this agreement would provide continuity of service, operational efficiency, and consistency.

This lease agreement with Dell Technologies will be billed as follows:
· Year 1 $33,519.57
· Year 2 $33,519.57
· Year 3 $33,519.57
Grant Total $109,058.35
FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of the agreement will be funded through the current approved budget. Sufficient funds are available within the current fiscal year budget. Future funding will be subject to annual budget appropriations. GL Account 1022005 5812

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

APPROVAL OF THE MEDIA SPECIALIST AND LIMITED-TERM RETIRED ANNUITANT CLASSIFICATIONS AND FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2026–2027 PUBLICLY

AVAILABLE PAY SCHEDULE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City is requesting approval to establish a new Media Specialist classification to align with the City’s operational needs with current strategic marketing and communication plans. This new position will provide a more cost-effective staffing solution.

The City preciously established the Multimedia Coordinator classification.. Following an evaluation of the position and City needs, it was determined that the scope of work could be effectively performed through a revised classification with responsibilities better aligned to the City’s immediate communication and public information needs.

This proposed Media Specialist position maintains the essential functions necessary to support the City’s growing communication initiatives while reducing the overall salary costs. This approach improves recruitment opportunities internally, provides greater flexibility in hiring qualified candidates, and demonstrates fiscal responsibility.

The City is also requesting approval of a new salary schedule for a Retired Annuitant Superintendent.

The addition of this salary schedule would support any current or future temporary business needs for a retired annuitant.

DISCUSSION:

As the City continues to grow and public interest in City programs and initiatives increases, the need for timely, professional, and consistent public communication has expanded considerably.

The City previously created the Multimedia Coordinator classification to address these communication needs. Following a review of the position’s responsibilities, the City’s current operational needs, and regional market conditions, staff determined that the Multimedia Coordinator classification was more specialized than necessary to meet the City’s immediate needs.

Staff subsequently developed a Media Specialist classification focused on the following core responsibilities:
· Supporting the City’s social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube;
· Creating digital and print communications;
· Providing photography and videography services for City events; · Developing and maintaining website content;
· Supporting public information campaigns; and

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
· Assisting with Citywide communication and marketing initiatives.

Staff believes the Media Specialist classification is appropriately aligned with comparable positions in the regional labor market and reflects the City’s commitment to the efficient and responsible use of public resources. Staff recommends adding the Media Specialist classification to the City’s adopted Publicly Available Pay Schedule.

Staff also recommends adding the Limited Term Retired Annuitant classification to the City’s adopted Publicly Available Pay Schedule. Establishing this classification would provide the City with the flexibility to utilize an experienced retired professional on a temporary and limited-duration basis when operational needs require specialized knowledge, leadership, or assistance during a transition, vacancy, recruitment, or other critical staffing circumstance.

The classification would be used in accordance with all applicable CalPERS retired-annuitant requirements, including limitations on hours worked and other restrictions governing post-retirement employment. Generally, a CalPERS retired annuitant may not work more than 960 hours during a fiscal year, in aggregate, for all CalPERS-covered employers. These restrictions are not applicable to nonCalPERS retirees, such as retirees from 1937 Act county retirement agencies.

Adding the Limited Term Retired Annuitant classification to the Publicly Available Pay Schedule would not authorize a permanent position or guarantee employment. Rather, it would establish an appropriate classification and compensation structure should the City determine that the temporary services of a qualified retired annuitant are necessary to support City operations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None, as the costs for these positions were included and approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2026–2027 adopted budget.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:

1. Approve the Job Description for the Media Specialist; and Limited Term Retired Annuitant; and

2. Adopt Resolution No. XX-2026 approving the Fourth Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Publicly Available Pay Schedule.

3. Authorize the Appropriation of Budget to the applicable salary accounts from available budget surplus in the FY2026/2027 General Fund budget.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

APPROVAL OF SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT AMENDING CONTRACT LANGUAGE BPOA ARTICLE 29 OVERTIME
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As part of the recently negotiated Barstow Police Officers' Association (BPOA) Memorandum of Understanding, language within Article 29: was modified to provide for overtime calculations based on Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements. Under the revised language, certain paid leave hours, including sick leave and vacation leave, were not treated as hours worked when determining overtime eligibility.

DISCUSSION:

Under the previous MOU and previous practice, overtime eligibility was calculated based on all paid hours within the applicable work period, including hours worked as well as applicable paid leave such as vacation, sick leave, and holiday leave. The revised Article 29 language changed this calculation by more closely aligning overtime eligibility with Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements, resulting in certain paid leave hours no longer being included when determining overtime eligibility.

After further discussion and review, the City and Association desire to enter into a Side Letter Agreement to revert to the previous contractual overtime language and calculation methodology. The Side Letter will provide that applicable paid leave hours will again be included when determining overtime eligibility, consistent with the practice in effect prior to implementation of the current MOU. The change will become effective as of July 1, 2026, following execution of the Side Letter agreement. In addition the City will review overtime payments affected by the implementation of the revised Article 29 language and reimburse affected employees for overtime compensation that was reduced or not paid as a result of the change in calculation methodology.

The proposed Side Letter is intended solely to address Overtime. All other provisions, wages, benefits, and terms and conditions of the current MOU will remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Staff recommend approval of the Side Letter to restore the precious overtime calculation methodology and provide consistency with the parties’ prior contractual practices.

FISCAL IMPACT:

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:

1. Approve the Side Letter Agreement between the City of Barstow and the Barstow Police Officers' Association (BPOA) amending Article 29: Overtime of the current Memorandum of Understanding 18 Packet Pg. 132

__________________________________________________________________ WHEREAS, the City of Barstow (“City”) and the Barstow Police Officers’ Association (“BPOA”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027 (“BPOA MOU”); and
WHEREAS Article 29 (Overtime) of the BPOA MOU requires overtime calculations in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

employee may be directed by proper authority, and in such cases, is expected to perform overtime work.

Overtime means all authorized hours worked by non-exempt employees in excess of their normal work period, regular work week, work day, or shift, unless otherwise established in a manner consistent with law.

AGENDA MATTER:

ACCEPTANCE AND APPROVAL OF FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR THE SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL (SS4A) GRANT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program is a federally funded discretionary grant program established to improve roadway safety and reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries through a proactive, data-driven approach.

The proposed project will develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (“Action Plan”) for the City of Barstow. The Action Plan will establish a citywide framework to identify, prioritize, and address transportation safety concerns using a systemic safety approach. Rather than focusing solely on locations with a history of crashes, the plan will evaluate roadway characteristics, traffic patterns, multimodal travel, and other risk factors to identify locations with the greatest potential for future serious crashes.

The Action Plan will include extensive data collection and analysis, stakeholder and public engagement, identification of high-risk corridors and intersections, development of prioritized safety countermeasures, and an implementation strategy to guide future capital improvement projects. Completion of the Action Plan will also position the City to pursue future federal transportation safety funding opportunities for implementation projects.

DISCUSSION:

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program provides funding to local agencies to develop and implement strategies that improve roadway safety for all users, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and persons with disabilities.

The City of Barstow successfully applied for funding to prepare a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan ("Action Plan") that will evaluate existing transportation conditions throughout the City’s roadway network.

The plan will use nationally recognized best practices and a systemic safety methodology to identify infrastructure improvements, policy recommendations, and operational strategies designed to reduce fatalities and serious injuries.

The completed Action Plan will serve as a foundational planning document supporting future grant applications and capital improvement projects focused on enhancing transportation safety throughout the community.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total project cost for the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan ("Project") is $600,000. The Project will be funded as follows:

Federal SS4A Grant Award: $480,000 (80%) - Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Local Match: $120,000 (20%) - Measure I Local

In accordance with 2 CFR 200.308(f)(6), the recipient or subrecipient shall obtain prior written approval from the USDOT agreement officer for the subaward, if the subaward activities were not proposed in the application or approved in the Federal award. This provision is in accordance with 2 CFR 200.308 (f) (6) and does not apply to procurement transactions for goods and services. Approval will be issued through written notification from the AO or a formal amendment to the Agreement.

The following subawards and contracts are currently approved under the Agreement by the AO. This list does not include supplies, material, equipment, or general support services which are exempt from the pre-approval requirements of this clause.

5.2 Reimbursement Requests
(a) The Recipient may request reimbursement of costs incurred within the budget period of this agreement if those costs do not exceed the amount of funds obligated and are allowable under the applicable cost provisions of 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart E. The Recipient shall not request reimbursement more frequently than monthly.
(b) The Recipient shall use the DELPHI iSupplier System to submit requests for reimbursement to the payment office.

2. Supporting Narrative.

The City’s CSAP will commit to strong labor standards by creating an infrastructure plan that will require the City to create Street and Infrastructure Improvements throughout the City. This requires COB to follow high labor standards that meet prevailing wage requirements such as the Davis Bacon Act. Once infrastructure/street improvement plans are created and awarded, the Contractor is required to

19.a
Packet Pg. 152 Attachment: Attachment A_Barstow_SS4A FY24 Grant Agreement - 8.6.2026 (6531 : Acceptance and Approval of Funding Agreement for the 14 of 16
provide sustainable wages, benefits, and workplace protections. These agreements and contracts require Contractors to partner with labor unions and apprenticeship programs.

Locally, the infrastructure projects require our agency (City of Barstow) to obtain high level staffing to inspect, and manage the projects. This creates a benefit locally providing a boost to our economy.

Infrastructure improvements to concrete (ADA curb ramps, sidewalk, curb, gutter) and asphalt create construction and maintenance jobs. Maintenance jobs created by these projects support the ongoing skilled labor employment goals and benefits.

Ultimately, The City will utilize the CSAP project, and subsequent projects that create the need for project labor agreements, prevailing wages, and registered apprenticeship programs ensuring these Traffic Safety, Street, and Infrastructure Improvements create the high quality jobs to support workforce development in the construction trades.

AGENDA MATTER:

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CENTENNIAL PARK LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CITY OF BARSTOW PROJECT # BGRD-26-0038
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends awarding a contract to KNC Construction Inc. for the Centennial Park Landscape Improvements Project (“Project”) for the amount of $218,815.

On July 21, 2026, the City Council awarded the contract to Kormex Construction (“Contractor”) who was determined to be the low bidder after an informal solicitation procedure. On July 23,, 2026, the Contractor provided notification of a clerical error within the statutory period for identifying errors in a bid proposal. (Pub. Contr. Code § 5103.) As a result, City staff requested that the City Council reject all bids and began a subsequent informal bid process.

Staff re-advertised the informal bid for Project on July 28, 2026. The City received a total of four (4) bids by the deadline. The two lowest bids received were rejected (i.e., incomplete bid package and unallowed bid submittal from party previously withdrawing). Due to the time lost in rebidding the project, the line item associated with landscaping has been removed from consideration as the duration to engage in review of proposed landscaping cannot be addressed prior to the required completion date. Also removed is the associated line item for contingency. The removal of these allowances was applied evenly and fairly to all qualified bidders. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder remained KNC Construction Inc., in the amount of $218,815.

DISCUSSION:

The Project is the revitalization of an existing pocket park in downtown Barstow at the intersection of 1st Avenue and the famous Route 66, commonly known as East Main Street. The Project has been called the “Centennial Park Landscape Improvement Project” due to the City’s upcoming centenial celebration.

The Project is intended to revitalize, and enhance functionality, accessibility and the overall appearance of this existing park while creating a safe and welcoming environment for residents and transients. The Project includes construction of ADA compliant pathways, installation of shade canopies, new park seating, decorative retaining walls and planters, and at the center of the park, a newly designed monument sign for the finishing touch.

The City solicited informal bids for the Project in accordance with the City of Barstow’s Purchasing and Contract Policy. A total of four (4) bids were initially received. Following review of the bid documents and contractor qualifications, the low bidder was disqualified as non-responsive. The Project was then awarded by the City Council to Kormex Construction Inc. on July 21, 2026. On July 27, 2026, Kormex Construction Inc. notified the City that a clerical error had been identified in its proposal. The correction increased the total bid amount from $197,436 to $277,036, resulting in the contract being unable to be awarded as an informally bid contract. As a result, the City was required to reject all bids and re-advertise the project in accordance with City of Barstow’s Purchasing and Contract Policy.

The Project was re-advertised for informal bids on July 28, 2026, and received a total of four (4) bids by the bid submittal deadline of August 10, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Bids were reviewed for completeness and contractor qualifications. The lowest bid received from JDR Construction was rejected due to 20 Packet Pg. 156

AGENDA ITEM
incompleteness. The next lowest bidder, Kormex Construction, was ineligible to rebid the Project per Public Contract Code Sec. 5105 preventing award to a party withdrawing their bid based on clerical error.

Accordingly, the remaining two (2) eligible bids received from KNC Construction Inc. and Jergensen Construction Inc. were evaluated and determined to be responsive. KNC provided a proposal (Attachment B) in the amount of $268,815.00 City staff is recommending that Council award the project to KNC Construction, as the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for the newly listed and agreed upon amount of $218,815. Below are the four (4) listed contractor proposals received by the bid due date and time of August 10, 2026 at 12:00 p.m.

Contractor Proposal Bid Status
JDR Construction $180,000.00 Incomplete
Kormex Construction Inc. $229,351.00 Ineligible to Bid
KNC Construction Inc. $268,815.00 Complete
Jergensen Construction Inc. $299,387.25 Complete
However, due to concerns regarding the timing of project delivery based on the required time associated with contractor-design of the landscaping the project would likely be unable to be completed in a timely manner. Accordingly the allowances provided by the City for landscaping and the allowance included for contingency would not be required. Therefore the two allowance item amounts were removed from the Project across the board as to all bidders. This did not alter the incompleteness of the JDR Construction bid, or the inability to bid by Kormex pursuant to Public Contract Code § 5105. The removal of the allowance makes the consideration of the KNC bid $218,815.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project will be funded utilizing the Cannabis Funds with an appropriation amount of $218,815 to FY 26-27 budget. The funds will be appropriated to Expenditure Account No.1005007 5831.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:

1. Award the construction contract to KNC Construction Inc., the lowest responsible bidder.

2. Authorize the City Manager, or her designee, the authority to sign the construction contract, and any related documents associated with the project.

3. Approve and appropriate a construction budget in the amount of $218,815.00 to Expenditure Account No. 1005007-5831.

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR MAIN STREET REHABILITATION - 1 ST AVE. TO BARSTOW ROAD PROJECT (CITY OF BARSTOW PROJECT # ENCD-26-0042) AND APPROVAL OF ROAD CLOSURES ALONG MAIN ST., FROM FIRST AVENUE TO BARSTOW ROAD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff solicited informal bids for the Main Street Rehabilitation Project-First Avenue to Barstow Road in accordance with the California Public Contract Code and the City of Barstow's Purchasing and Contract Policy. The project was publicly advertised to qualified contractors on June 26, 2026. The City received a total of three (3) bids by the bid deadline of July 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. All bids received exceeded the informal bid dollar threshold maximum of $220,000, as dictated per the California Public Contract Code and the City’s Purchasing and Contract Policy. As a result, City staff was required to reject all bids and obtain Council approval to re-advertise the project formally. All bids were rejected and a solicitation request was formally approved at the July 21, 2026, City Council meeting.

Upon approval of the City Council, City Staff re-advertised the project formally and invited sealed bids to be submitted for the Main Street Rehabilitation Project - First Avenue to Barstow Road in accordance with the City of Barstow's Purchasing and Contract Policy and the California Public Contract Code. The Project was publicly advertised to qualified contractors, as required, on July 22, 2026. The City received a total of seven (7) bids by the bid deadline of August 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.

The bids were reviewed for completeness and contractor qualifications. The apparent lowest responsive and responsible bidder is Sully-Miller Contracting. Sully-Miller Contracting has met the requirements necessary to perform the work in accordance with all applicable contract specifications and documents.

Out of the seven (7) bids received, three (3) bid submittals were incomplete and therefore nonresponsive.

DISCUSSION:

City Staff received direction from the City Council to explore upgrades to Main Street (Route 66) due to its dilapidated condition in preparation of the upcoming centennial celebrations of Route 66. Pavement rehabilitation options were explored and associated project documents and specifications were created.

The project generally consists of a 2" removal of existing asphalt section and a 2" replacement section of asphalt (grind & overlay), removal and replacement of dilapidated concrete curb and gutter, traffic control, replacement of pavement markings striping, replacement of sewer manhole cover assemblies, traffic loop detector replacement, and best management practices such as erosion control and storm water pollution prevention programs.

The City originally advertised the project as an Informal Bid per the City of Barstow’s Purchasing and Contract Policy on June 26, 2026, and received a total of three (3) proposals by the bid due date of July 15, 2026. Based on the proposals received exceeding the informal bid threshold of $220,000, City Staff requested approval by the City Council to reject all bids and obtained the City Council’s approval for formal bid solicitation and advertisement of the project on July 21, 2026.

The project was publicly advertised in accordance with the City of Barstow’s Purchasing and Contract Policy and formal bidding procedures on July 22, 2026. The City received a total of (7) seven bids by the bid due date of August 6, 2026, at 2:00pm. the bid results were publicly read aloud at the City of 21 Packet Pg. 187

XXXX-2026 (Attachment C) which will authorize periodic street closures during the asphalt milling and paving operations which have been tentatively scheduled, beginning Monday, August 31, 2026 to Wednesday, September 30, 2026. City Staff estimates there will be approximately a total of 5-7 working days needed to mill (remove) a 2" section of dilapidated asphalt and re-pave and compact a newly placed 2" roadway. During this time, traffic will be detoured toward Williams Street, Clark Street, 2nd Avenue, 1st Street, and 5th Street. Alternate routes will be provided to the community so residents and businesses can continue to be accessed. City staff will work closely with the awarded contractor on coordination and will provide advance notification to residents and business owners of the upcoming public improvement construction. The proposed closures are necessary to allow the contractor to safely and efficiently complete critical phases of work for the planned street rehabilitation. The proposed road closures will help minimize impacts to local businesses and residents, decrease construction duration times, and enhance the public’s safety.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project will be funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB1) and have an overall project budget of $361,729.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In order to be eligible for Measure I funding through the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), the City is required to annually adopt a five-year Measure I Capital Improvement Program (CIP) by resolution (Resolution No. XXX-2026).

DISCUSSION:

In 1989, Measure I was approved by the voters of San Bernardino County to establish a ½ cent sales tax increase for a 20-year period (1989 - 2009), with the revenues to be used towards street and road maintenance. In 2004, voters renewed the Measure I sales tax with 80.03% of voters in support of extending the measure through 2040. Measure I revenues are distributed in the following manner: 68% Local; 25% Major Local Highway Projects (MLHP); 5% Elderly, Handicapped, Transit; and 2% shall be reserved in each sub-area by SBCTA for Project Development and Traffic Management Systems.

To be eligible for the funding, every participating local governing board is required to annually submit a five-year Measure I Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). In fiscal 2026/2027 year, the City is estimated to receive approximately $1,831,825 in funding from Measure I.

The available capital should fund all or portions of the street reconstruction, preservation, and maintenance projects as exhibited in Attachment A. The projected revenue estimate of $1,831,825 is exhibited in Attachment B. The City of Barstow’s proposed expenditure strategy for the five-year period, 2026/2027 - 2030/2031 can be found in Attachment C.
