6. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Discussion/Action: Authorization to Adopt New Accounts Payable – Bill Pay Policy The City of Biggs currently operates its accounts payable using checks. Automated Clearing House (ACH) is used for payroll of city employees and council members.
Recommendation: Motion/Second to authorize the City Administrator to implement new accounts payable – bill pay policy to allow the use of ACH in paying City obligations.
B. Discussion/Action: Authorization to Adopt Amendments to City Council Policies & Procedures
Under the City Council Policy approved in 2025, the approved votes are "Aye" "Nay" and "Abstain". The Rules of Order (7.1) dictate that an Abstention should first be used due to a conflict of interest (3.4.5) and otherwise only used as dictated by rules of the legislative body. Since the Council has not approved a policy or rule governing how to apply Abstain beyond the conflict of interest, the rule would default to Rosenberg’s Rules of Order.
Recommendation: Motion/Second to authorize the City Administrator to amend the City Council Policies & Procedures Manual as adopted on January 14, 2025, with the two requested amendments.
C. Discussion/Action: Authorization to Adopt Amendments to City Travel Reimbursement Policy
The City travel reimbursement policies are intended to define which travel expenses are authorized, reasonable, and reimbursable, and to ensure those costs are documented and treated consistently across officials and employees.
Recommendation: Motion/Second to authorize the City Administrator to amend the City Travel Reimbursement Policy as adopted on February 13, 2024, with the requested amendments.
D. Discussion/Action: Continuation of the City of Biggs Feral Cat Program through the PAWS Clinic, Oroville
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Program is seeking City Council authorization to continue the City’s existing Feral Car Program partnership through PAWS Clinic in Oroville for the next six-month period.
Recommendation: Motion/Second to direct the City Administrator to work with TNR to identify outside funding to either match or supplement budgeted financial efforts.

E. Discussion/Action: Discuss and review properties reported by county for tax-defaulted auction.
Counties periodically auction tax-defaulted properties to recover unpaid property taxes, often at prices below market value. By purchasing selected parcels at these sales, a city can secure control of long-delinquent or problem properties to address nuisance conditions, support redevelopment or affordable housing, assemble land for public projects, and ultimately restore the parcels to productive, tax-generating use consistent with community plans.
Recommendation: Motion/Second to direct the City Administrator to report back to the Council results of the county auction.
