25 PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES: HOUSING IS HEALTH CARE
20 Housing helps prevent institutionalization, incarceration, physical health care complications, and decreases substance use.
This project protects our residents by keeping them in the region, even if it means they are temporarily displaced from their home communities.
Psychiatric facilities, SUD residential treatment, prison, and specialty physical health care is all out of our region. When we provide housing, we keep people closer to home.
Other funds continue to be budgeted to provide emergency housing assistance and hotel/motel vouchers when individuals meet criteria for our services and local resources are available.
Providing housing that is staffed 24/7 protects individuals who qualify for this housing and local community members.
New federal regulations may require us to send people away to mental health facilities if they are homeless + mental health/SUD condition. Providing housing will help protect our residents from this outcome.
Providing these services reduces county costs and can be more effective than relying on higher levels of placement outside the area when it makes sense

Agenda Item: 9.D
Date of Meeting: December 8, 2025
Department: Public Works
To: City Council
From: Nora Gamino
Subject: ORDINANCE - Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Relating to Establishing an Industrial Waste Discharge Program Prepared On: November 19, 2025
Attachments: Ordinance No. XXX Update to Title 13 Water and Sewer Ordinance
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City of Bishop operates a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) that provides wastewater collection and treatment for the community. The City’s existing Municipal Code does not provide a permitting mechanism for the discharge of non-domestic or industrial wastewater into the sewer system.
Recently, an environmental contractor began removal of underground storage tanks (USTs) at a former gas station site. Groundwater infiltration requires dewatering of the excavation area, and the extracted water contains hydrocarbons that must be treated and disposed of properly to complete remediation. Discharging the dewatered groundwater to the City’s sewer system is the only practical option available that meets environmental and public health requirements.
Because the City does not currently have a permit process for these types of discharges, staff is proposing a new Industrial Waste Discharge Program (Chapter 13.14) to establish a lawful, protective, and cost-recovering process for evaluating and permitting such discharges.
The City Council approved the first reading and introduction of this ordinance at their November 10, 2025 Regular Meeting.
Analysis/Discussion:
The proposed ordinance, titled Chapter 13.14 – Industrial Waste Discharge Permit Program, establishes a regulatory framework for the temporary or industrial discharge of non-domestic wastewater into the City’s sewer system. The ordinance aligns with the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq.), 40 CFR Part 403 (General Pretreatment Regulations), and the PorterCologne Water Quality Control Act.
Key provisions include:
Permit Requirement: A Wastewater Discharge Permit (WDP) must be obtained prior to 89 any non-domestic discharge to the POTW.
Permit Conditions: Each permit will specify pollutant limits, flow restrictions, sampling frequency, and reporting requirements.
Enforcement: The ordinance authorizes administrative orders, compliance schedules, penalties, and suspension of service to protect the POTW.
Cost Recovery: The City may recover all costs associated with permit administration, monitoring, testing, and treatment.
Proposed Fee and Deposit Structure
To implement the program, staff has developed a proposed fee schedule and deposit structure to recover the City’s actual costs. The proposed structure ensures sufficient funds are received in advance while allowing accurate reconciliation after the permitted activity concludes.
Fee / Deposit Type Description Amount Timing of Payment Application / Permit
Issuance Fee
Covers staff review of
the application,

scope and volume
Due prior to permit
issuance
At the close of the permitted activity:
Actual costs are reconciled against the deposit.
Any remaining balance is refunded to the permittee within 30 days.
If costs exceed the deposit, the remaining balance is invoiced and due within 30 days.
Unpaid balances are enforceable under the City’s new Chapter 13.14 as noncompliance costs.
This proposed fee structure ensures cost recovery while protecting the City against unpaid fees.
Next Steps and Implementation Schedule
90 Following this first reading, the ordinance will return for second reading and adoption at the next regular City Council meeting.
The ordinance will take effect 30 days after adoption.
The fee resolution will be presented for Council consideration at the next regular meeting.
The fee resolution will take effect 60 days after adoption.
After both actions are effective, Public Works will begin issuing Industrial Waste Discharge Permits consistent with the adopted program.
Economic Impacts:
There are no significant economic impacts.
Budget Impacts:
There are no general fund impacts associated with this action. Implementation of the permit program will be cost-neutral to the City, as all administrative and monitoring costs will be recovered through the adopted fees.
Legal Review:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
Council consideration to approve the second reading and adoption of the proposed ordinance adding Chapter 13.14 to the Bishop Municipal Code to establish an Industrial Waste Discharge Program by title only.

97 City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 7
2. Specific prohibitions. No user shall introduce or cause to be introduced into the POTW the following pollutants, substances, or wastewater:
a. Pollutants which create a fire or explosive hazard in the POTW, including, but not limited to, wastestreams with a closed-cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21; b. Wastewater having a pH level less than 5.0 or greater than 9.0, or otherwise causing corrosive structural damage to the POTW or equipment; c. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which will cause obstruction of the flow in the POTW resulting in interference but in no case solids greater than onehalf inch in any dimension; d. Pollutants, including oxygen-demanding pollutants (biochemical oxygen demand, etc.), released in a discharge at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration which, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants, will cause interference with the POTW;
e. Wastewater having a temperature greater than 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), or which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment plant resulting in interference, but in no case wastewater which causes the temperature at the introduction into the treatment plant to exceed 104 degrees F (40 degrees C); f. Petroleum oil, non-biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin, in amounts that will cause interference or pass through;
g. Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that may cause acute worker health and safety problems;
h. Untreated trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the director in accordance with subsection 13.14.030(D) of this chapter; i. Noxious or malodorous liquids, gases, solids, or other wastewater which, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, are sufficient to create a public nuisance or a hazard to life, or to prevent entry into the sewers for maintenance or repair;
j. Wastewater which imparts color which cannot be removed by the treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes, food and beverage processing wastes, and vegetable tanning solutions, which consequently imparts color to the treatment plant's effluent, thereby violating the WDR permits; k. Wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes except in compliance with applicable state or federal regulations; l. Stormwater, surface water, ground water, artesian well water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, swimming pool drainage, condensate, deionized water, noncontact cooling water, and unpolluted wastewater, unless specifically authorized by the director;
m. Sludges, screenings, or other residues from the pretreatment of industrial wastes;
98 City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 8
n. Medical wastes, except as specifically authorized by the director in a WDP; o. Wastewater causing, alone or in conjunction with other sources, the treatment plant(s) effluent to fail toxicity test;
p. Detergents, surface-active agents, or other substances which might cause excessive foaming in the POTW;
q. Fats, oils, or greases of animal or vegetable origin in concentrations greater than concentrations (combined polar and nonpolar oil and grease) that exceed 100 mg/L;
r. Hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR Part 261.
Pollutants, substances, or wastewater prohibited by this section shall not be processed or stored in such a manner that they could be discharged to the POTW.
B. National Categorical Pretreatment Standards. Users must comply with the categorical pretreatment standards found at 40 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter N, Parts 405—471, as may be amended from time to time. The director will develop such standards and concentration or mass limitations as needed for compliance with the standards.
C. Department's right of revision. The city reserves the right to establish, by ordinance, resolution or in WDPs, more stringent standards or requirements on discharges to the POTW consistent with the purpose of this chapter.
D. Dilution. No user shall ever increase the use of process water, or in any way attempt to dilute a discharge, as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a discharge limitation unless expressly authorized by an applicable pretreatment standard or requirement. The director may impose mass limitations on users who are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards or requirements, or in other cases when the imposition of mass limitations is appropriate.
Sec. 13.14.030 Pretreatment of wastewater.
A. Pretreatment facilities. Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this ordinance and shall achieve compliance with all the prohibitions set out in section 13.14.020 of this chapter within the time limitations specified by the director. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense.
B. Additional pretreatment measures.
1. Whenever deemed necessary, the director may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
2. The director may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control 99 City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 9
facility to ensure equalization of flow. A WDP may be issued solely for flow equalization.
3. Grease, fat, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the director, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease, fat oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the director and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired by the user at their expense.
4. Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
C. Accidental discharge/slug discharge control plans. The director shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The director may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan or take such other action that may be necessary to control slug discharges. Alternatively, the director may develop such a plan for any user.
D. Hauled wastewater. Haulers of septic tank waste and industrial waste may be required by the director to obtain WDPs. The director may designate times, locations and load tracking systems for the hauling and discharge of industrial and/or septic waste.

102
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 12
5. Signature and report certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be certified and signed by the user or an authorized representative.
C. Compliance schedule progress reports. The compliance schedule required above shall include progress report, with progress increments in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards. No increment shall exceed nine months. The user shall submit a progress report to the director in a form and at such times as reasonably required by the director.
D. Reports on compliance with categorical pretreatment standard deadline. Within ninety days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the director a report containing the user’s long-term production rate or the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period, as applicable. All compliance reports must be signed and certified by the user or his/her authorized representative.
E. Periodic compliance reports. All significant industrial users must, at a frequency determined by the director, submit reports indicating the nature, concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a BMP or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the director or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, clean, and maintained in good working order such that all wastewater samples are representative of the user's discharge. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified by the user or his/her authorized representative.
F. Reports of changed conditions. Each user must notify the director of any significant changes to the user's operations or system which might alter the nature, quality, or volume of its wastewater at least ten days before the change. The director may require the user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a new WDP application or the director may elect to modify an existing WDP.
G. Reports of potential problems. In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a noncustomary batch discharge, a slug discharge or slug load, that might cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately notify the director of the incident, the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user. Within five days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the director in writing, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Nothing herein shall relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which might be incurred as a result of damage 103
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 13
to the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this chapter.
H. Reports from unpermitted users. All users not required to obtain a WDP shall provide appropriate reports to the director as the director may require.
I. Notification of sampling violation/repeat sampling and reporting. If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify the director within twenty-four hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the director within thirty days after becoming aware of the violation. Resampling by the industrial user is not required if the department performs sampling at the user's facility at least once a month, or if the department performs sampling at the user between the time when the initial sampling was conducted and the time when the user or the department receives the results of this sampling, or if the department has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the industrial user.
J. Analytical requirements. All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to be submitted as part of a WDP application or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, or where the EPA determines that the Part 136 sampling and analytical techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question, sampling and analyses shall be performed by using validated analytical methods or any other applicable sampling and analytical procedures, including those suggested by the director or other parties approved by EPA.
K. Sample collection. Samples collected to satisfy reporting requirements must be based on data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report, based on data that is representative of conditions occurring during the reporting period.
1. Except as indicated in subsections (2) and (3) below, the user must collect wastewater samples using 24-hour flow-proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the director. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the director, the samples must be representative of the discharge. Using protocols (including appropriate preservation) specified in 40 CFR Part 136 and appropriate EPA guidance, multiple grab samples collected during a 24-hour period may be composited prior to the analysis as follows: for cyanide, total phenols, and sulfides the samples may be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organics, oil, fat and grease, the samples may be composited in the laboratory. Composite samples for other parameters unaffected by the compositing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the director as appropriate. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous limits. 104
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 14
2. Samples for oil, fat and grease; temperature; pH, cyanide; total phenols; sulfides; and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection techniques.
3. For sampling required in support of baseline monitoring and compliance reports, a minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH; cyanide; total phenols; oil, fat and grease; sulfide and volatile organic compounds for facilities for which historical sampling data do not exist. For facilities for which historical sampling data are available, the director may authorize a lower minimum. For the reports required by section 13.14.060(D) [40 CFR 403.12(e) and 403.12(h)], the industrial user is required to collect the number of grab samples necessary to assess and assure compliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
L. Date of receipt of reports. Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the date postmarked. For reports, which are not mailed, postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the United States Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
M. Recordkeeping. Users subject to the reporting requirements of this chapter shall retain, and make available for city inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required by this chapter, any additional records of information obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user independent of such requirements, and documentation associated with BMPs.
Records shall include the date, exact place, method, and time of sampling, and the name of the person(s) taking the samples; the dates analyses were performed; who performed the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the results of such analyses. These records shall remain available for a period of at least three years, as may be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation involving the user’s compliance with this chapter.
N. Certification statements. The director is authorized to develop the criteria and statements to be required for certification of permit applications, user reports and any monitoring waiver. The director may also devise and require annual certification statements for non-significant categorical industrial users for purposes of managing compliance with categorical pretreatment standards.
Sec. 13.14.070 Administrative enforcement actions and remedies.
A. Enforcement actions (“EAs”) generally. Administrative EAs and remedies, together with the judicial enforcement remedies and other EAs specified elsewhere in this chapter, are authorized for city use under state and federal law, including but not limited to: the Act; the California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act; the County Water District Law (Water Code sections 30000 to 33901); and Government Code sections 54739—54740.6.
B. Informal notice; warning notice of non-compliance letter.
1. Informal notice. Informal notices are issued by department staff under the authority of the director to correct minor infractions resulting in inadvertent non-compliance and may consist of a telephone call, electronic notice, site visit or informal meeting 105
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 15
advising the user of a requirement to complete a compliance action or to exercise more due diligence.
2. Warning notice of non-compliance letter. The warning notice of non-compliance letter (WNON) is an informal written communication used by department staff under the authority of the director to address minor violations of this chapter, a WDP or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement. A WNON may include specific corrective actions required of the user, non-compliance costs and a warning that additional EAs may be pursued if corrective actions are not accomplished.
3. Notice of violation. When the director finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, a WDP, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the director may serve upon that user a written notice of violation (NOV). The NOV shall be hand delivered or delivered by certified mail with a written receipt of delivery. At a minimum, the NOV shall demand, within timeframes set forth in the NOV, a response to the alleged violation and a plan for satisfactory corrective action and prevention. Submission of such a plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations or non-compliance costs occurring before or after receipt of the NOV. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the city to take any action, including emergency actions or other EAs, without first issuing a NOV.
C. Administrative orders (AOs). The director may require compliance with this chapter, any WDP or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, by issuing administrative orders (AOs) directing users to implement corrective or remedial measures. Such AOs include consent orders (COs), compliance orders (CMOs), and cease and desist orders. AOs may be accompanied by an administrative complaint (AC) specifying proposed administrative civil penalties (ACPs). AOs may incorporate compliance schedules, time frames and may specify non-compliance costs to be paid by the user. AOs issued under this chapter are judicially enforceable, and the director may use AOs, either individually, sequentially, concurrently, or in any order for one or more violations as appropriate for the circumstances. Except as may be specified otherwise in this section, AOs shall be hand-delivered or delivered by certified mail with a written receipt of delivery to the user. AOs may not extend the deadline for compliance established for a pretreatment standard or requirement, nor relieve the user of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a CMO shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.
D. Show cause hearing and order.
1. The director may order a user that has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, a WDP, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, to appear before the city administrator and show cause why a proposed EA should not be taken up to and including discharge termination (a "show cause hearing"). Notice shall be served on the user specifying the time and place for the hearing, the proposed EA, the reasons for such action, and a request that the user show cause why the proposed EA should not be taken. 106
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 16
The show cause hearing notice shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) on any authorized representative of the user at least ten working days prior to the hearing.
2. A show cause hearing shall be conducted in accordance with written procedures to be established by the city administrator in consultation with the city attorney, to be maintained for public review in the office of the city administrator and provided to the user with notice of the show cause hearing. Issuance of a show cause hearing order (SCO) shall not be a bar against, or prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user and such SCO may specify non-compliance costs to be paid by the user and/or may be accompanied by an administrative complaint specifying proposed administrative civil penalties.
E. Administrative complaint (AC); administrative civil penalties (ACPs). Pursuant to the authority of California Government Code sections 54739 and 54740.5, the director may issue an AC to any user who violates or continues to violate any provision of this chapter, a WDP or order issued hereunder, or any pretreatment standard or requirement adopted or ordered by the city pursuant to this chapter.
1. The administrative complaint shall be served by personal delivery or certified mail on such user and shall inform the user that a hearing shall be conducted, within sixty days following service. The administrative complaint will allege the act or failure to act that constitutes the violation(s), set forth the provisions of law authorizing civil liability to be imposed and the proposed administrative civil penalty. The matter shall be heard by the city administrator or such hearing officer as he/she may designate.
2. At the hearing, the user shall have an opportunity to respond to the allegations set forth in the administrative complaint by presenting written or oral evidence. The hearing shall be conducted in accordance with procedures established by the city administrator and approved by the city attorney. A user dissatisfied with the decision of the city administrator or hearing officer may appeal to the city council in the manner specified in section 13.14.110 of this chapter.
3. The user to whom an administrative complaint has been issued may waive the right to a hearing.
4. If after the hearing, or appeal, if any, it is found that the user has violated reporting or discharge requirements, the city administrator or hearing officer (or the city council in the event of an appeal), may assess an administrative civil penalty against that user. In determining the amount of the administrative civil penalty, the city administrator or hearing officer (or city council in the event of an appeal) may take into consideration all relevant circumstances, including, but not limited to, the extent of harm caused by the violation, the economic benefit derived through any non-compliance, the nature and persistence of the violation, the length of time over which the violation occurs and corrective action, if any, attempted or taken by the discharger.
5. Administrative civil penalties may be imposed as follows:
107
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 17
a. In an amount which shall not exceed $2,000 for each day for failing or refusing to furnish technical or monitoring reports.
b. In an amount which shall not exceed $3,000 for each day for failing or refusing to timely comply with any compliance schedule.
c. In an amount which shall not exceed $5,000 per violation for each day for discharges in violation of any waste discharge limitation, permit condition, or requirement issued, reissued, or adopted by the city.
d. In an amount which does not exceed $10.00 per gallon for discharges in violation of any suspension, cease and desist order or other orders, or prohibition issued, reissued, or adopted by the city.
e. The amount of any civil penalties imposed under this section and California Government Code section 54740.5 which have remained delinquent for a period of sixty days shall constitute a lien against the real property of the discharger from which the discharge originated resulting in the imposition of the civil penalty. The lien shall be renewable in accordance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure sections 683.110 to 683.220, inclusive. f. All moneys collected under this section shall be deposited in a dedicated, restricted city fund available for the monitoring, treatment, and control of discharges into the department's POTW or for other mitigation measures.
6. Unless appealed, orders setting administrative civil penalties shall become effective and final upon issuance thereof, and payment shall be made to the city within thirty days.
7. Remedies under this section are in addition to and do not supersede or limit any and all other remedies, civil or criminal, no civil penalties shall be recoverable pursuant to an administrative complaint for any violation for which civil liability is recovered under California Government Code section 54740.
F. Emergency suspension order. The director may immediately suspend a user’s discharge, after giving notice to the user by any means reasonably available, to stop an actual or threatened discharge which the director determines is likely to cause an interference or pass-through or otherwise threatens to interfere with the operation of the treatment works, or which constitutes an imminent or substantial threat to the health, safety or welfare of persons or endangers the environment or property (hereinafter, “emergency condition”).
1. Any user notified of a suspension of its discharge shall immediately cease discharging or eliminate the pollutant or other cause for the suspension. If a user fails to comply immediately with the suspension order, the director may take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the connection of the user’s facilities to the treatment works, in order to prevent or minimize the emergency condition. The director may allow the user to resume its discharge when the user has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the director that the emergency condition has been eliminated or reduced to a level determined reasonably acceptable to the director, unless termination proceedings are initiated against the user.
108
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 18
2. When deemed necessary by the director, for the continuing preservation of public health or safety or for the protection of public or private property, the director may suspend sewer service to any person or persons using the wastewater system in a manner or way to endanger the public health or safety of public or private property. In suspending service, the director may sever all pertinent connections to the public sewer. If such endangerment shall be imminent, then the director may act immediately to suspend sewer service without notice or warning to said person or persons.
3. A user that is responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent endangerment shall submit a detailed written statement that includes the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence. The written statement shall be submitted to the director five days prior to the date of any show cause or termination hearing, excepting that no hearing shall be required for any action taken by the department in response to an emergency condition under this section.
4. Recipients of emergency suspension orders remain liable for non-compliance costs.
G. Discharge termination. Any user who violates the following conditions is subject to discharge termination:
1. Violation of WDP conditions;
2. Failure to accurately report the wastewater constituents and characteristics of its discharge;
3. Failure to report significant changes in operations or wastewater volume, constituents, and characteristics prior to discharge;
4. Refusal of reasonable access to the user's premises for the purpose of inspection, monitoring, or sampling; or
5. Violation of the pretreatment standards in section 13.14.020 of this chapter; or
6. Other material violations of this chapter.
Such user will be notified of the proposed discharge termination and be offered an opportunity to show cause hearing as to why the proposed action should not be taken.
Exercise of this EA by the city shall not be a bar to, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user. Users subject to discharge termination may be required to pay non-compliance costs.
109
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 19
Sec. 13.14.080 Enforcement remedies.
A. Public Nuisance. Discharge of wastewater in any manner in violation of this chapter or of any order issued by the director, as authorized by this chapter, is hereby declared a public nuisance and shall be corrected or abated as directed by the director. Any person creating such a public nuisance is guilty of a misdemeanor.
B. Injunction. Whenever a discharge of wastewater is in violation of the provisions of this chapter or otherwise causes or threatens to cause a condition of contamination, pollution, or nuisance, the director may cause the city to seek a petition to the Superior Court for the issuance of a preliminary or permanent injunction or both, as may be appropriate in restraining the continuance of such discharge.
C. Costs of Damage. Any person violating any provisions of this chapter or having a discharge that causes a deposit, obstruction, damage, or any other impairment to water service facilities or the public health shall become liable to the city for all expense, loss, or damage occasioned the city by reason of such violation or discharge.
D. Falsifying of Information. Any person who knowingly makes any false statements, representation, record, report, plan, or other document filed with the department, director or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any monitoring device or method required under this chapter, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
E. Termination of Service. The city may terminate any industrial WDP issued pursuant to this chapter or terminate or cause to be terminated any wastewater service to any premises if a violation of any provision of this chapter is found to exist or if a discharge of wastewater causes or threatens to cause a condition of contamination, pollution, or nuisance. This provision is in addition to other statutes or rules authorizing termination of service for delinquency in payment.
F. Civil Penalties.

City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ 20
Sec. 13.14.090 Supplemental enforcement actions.
A. Payment of outstanding fees, costs and penalties. The director may decline to issue or reissue a WDP to any user who has failed to pay any outstanding fees, noncompliance costs, fines or penalties incurred as a result of any provision of this ordinance, a previous WDP, or order issued hereunder.
B. Contractor listing. Users that have not achieved compliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements are not eligible to receive a contractual award for the sale of goods or services to the department.
C. Liability for non-compliance costs incurred by the department.
1. Any user found in violation of any requirement adopted or ordered by the department to meet the standards established to protect the department's POTW or to prevent the entry of any wastewater found or suspected to be in violation of any state, federal, or WDP, or any provisions of this ordinance which causes expense, loss, damage or other liability to the department shall be liable to the department for such expense, loss, damage or other liability (non-compliance costs) and shall pay the same to the department in a manner prescribed by the director.
2. Non-compliance costs can include environmental fines and cleanup costs arising out of, or resulting from, user non-compliance as well as any related cost of defense, settlement, arbitration, and attorney's fees. Non-compliance costs may also be levied to recover any costs incurred by the department to replace or repair POTW facilities or equipment damaged by a user's unauthorized discharge of industrial wastewater.
3. Non-compliance costs further include, but are not limited to, inspection, monitoring and sampling costs as well as transportation, equipment, and labor costs incurred by the department to investigate and/or demonstrate user noncompliance/compliance, as well as administrative (department staff) time spent in resolution of non-compliance. Administrative non-compliance costs will be based on actual staff hourly time expended to resolve user non-compliance (e.g., issuing NOVs and AOs; engaging in EAs; and conducing additional monitoring, sampling, testing, inspections or investigation as may be required). To the extent standardized hourly rates for administrative time expended in addressing user noncompliance can be established by the department, such standardized rates will be adopted by city resolution and utilized in calculating any non-compliance costs to be assessed.
Sec. 13.14.100 Pretreatment costs and fees.

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City’s Public Works Department utilizes service trucks for water, sewer, and street maintenance activities. These trucks carry tools, materials, and equipment to job sites and are essential for daily operations, emergency response, and maintenance of City infrastructure.
The department currently operates an older F-550 flatbed, which has exceeded its useful life and is no longer reliable for field service work. The vehicle suffers from lighting failures, ongoing oil leaks, lack of four-wheel drive, and no snowplowing capabilities, creating both safety and operational limitations. Despite consistent maintenance, repair needs have increased significantly, and the vehicle frequently sits out of service.
A replacement is needed to ensure reliable field response capability, improve operator safety, and expand operational flexibility. The new service truck will include a service body for organized tool storage, a snowplow for winter operations, and a full lighting and safety package.
This item is included in Objective 3.6 of the City’s Strategic Plan.
Analysis/Discussion:
Staff identified the following key performance and safety requirements for the new utility service truck:
Four-wheel drive for snow access.
Service body with secure tool and equipment compartments.
Snowplow attachment capable of operating on narrower City streets.
Lighting and visibility package (strobes, beacons, and light bar) for safe day and night 114
operations.
F-350 class to allow maneuverability in alleys and tight work zones.
Public Works obtained quotes from three qualified suppliers offering trucks that met these specifications (Bid Analysis Attachment).
Bid Evaluation
Lowest Responsible Bid: Capital Ford submitted the lowest total bid ($96,464.21) that met the requirements.
Vehicle Availability: The City did not specify a particular model year—only that the vehicle be readily available from dealer inventory (“on-lot”). Diamond Ford and Enterprise both had 2026 model-year trucks available and indicated they could transfer older model years upon request, though those would involve longer lead times. Capital Ford has a 2026 F-350 available immediately, meeting the City’s preference for rapid delivery.
Specifications Compliance: All bids met the required service body, lighting, and snowplow specifications. Capital Ford’s proposed Knapheide service body and plow option are standard, proven configurations with strong manufacturer support.
Diamond Ford did not revise their bid to include all applicable taxes, fees, and delivery charges and was therefore determined to be a non-responsive bid.
Cost Comparison: The Capital Ford proposal represents a savings of approximately $14,000 compared to the other responsive bid.
Based on total cost, specification compliance, and immediate availability, Capital Ford provides the best overall value to the City.
Economic Impacts:
None.
Budget Impacts:
This item is included within the FY 2025-26 Budget up to $90,000. A budget adjustment of $6,464.21 is proposed to cover the unbudgeted amount. The total expense and budget adjustment will be split evenly between the General Fund, the Sewer Fund, and the Water Fund.

Legal Review:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
City Council consideration to approve the purchase of a new 2026 Ford F-350 Gas Service Truck from Capital Ford, Carson City, Nevada, in an amount not to exceed $96,464.21 (including taxes, fees, and delivery), authorize the Public Works Director to sign the purchase order, and approve the corresponding budget adjustment as presented. 115

Good afternoon Hector,
Here is the updated quote with everything. I do not have a regular cab ready to go at the moment, so I did send this quote to you as a super cab (small rear seat access with the suicide doors). I will try to stay competitive with the price though.
This build would be 96,546 in this configuration. I'll get it done for you guys at 94k. Pretty much the same price as a regular cab.
Attached is the exact build and invoice for the truck.
VIN# 1FD8X3FN2TEC93700 --- 2026 F-350
Hope this helps!

Subject: Task Order 25-TO-08 Field 6 and Budget Adjustment - Community Services Department
Prepared On: December 1, 2025
Attachments: 25-TO-08 Wood Rodgers - Field 6 Design
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The Field 6 Enhancement Project concept was developed during the City of Bishop Strategic planning meeting in 2024. Through input from the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council this project selected as a priority for the City Park Master Plan and Strategic Plan. In November of 2024 a task order with Wood Rodgers was developed to create conceptual designs.
In November of 2025 the Community Services Department began working with Wood Rodgers on a new task order to develop construction documents for the Field 6 Enhancement Project.
This process will run concurrently with the Parks Master Plan process to allow for progress and implementation of Field 6 improvements in the Fall of 2026.
Analysis/Discussion:
The Community Services Department worked with Wood Rodgers on the first task order concept which included space for two soccer fields, pickleball courts, and basketball courts.
The new task order 25-TO-08 with Wood Rodgers will include the Phase 1 design for one soccer field with natural sod turf surface, irrigation, power supply to the site for lighting.
Phase 1 soccer field construction documents will be the priority for this task order. Wood Rodgers will also develop phased construction plans for hard surface courts, which could include basketball, pickleball or a surface for hockey within the Field 6 Enhancement area.
This will allow for fall construction depending on the conclusions of the Parks Master Plan and Strategic Planning. Wood Rodgers has developed a timeline and cost associated with the task order 25-TO-08.
The amount for this task is $119,540 and was not accounted for in the 2025-2026 budget.
During the 25-26 strategic planning and budget development process, the City intentionally omitted a budget amount for this project, but planned for a potential amendment to the budget, as described in the City's financial statements.
130
Economic Impacts:
The redevelopment of Field 6 will allow for Bishop to host larger sporting events which is expected to bring out-of-town users to the area, supporting local businesses in town. Overall, this investment will have a positive economic impact on the city.
The County of Inyo has committed $250,000 to the Field 6 Enhancement.
Budget Impacts:
The below listed budget adjustment is required to increase approved spending/capital outlay during FY 2025-26.

Recommended Action:
Council consideration to approve the City Administrator to sign a task order with Wood Rodgers to develop construction documents for the Field 6 Enhancement project for a not-to-exceed amount of $119,540.

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City Park is considered to be the jewel of the City of Bishop. The City Park is the host for a multitude of activities and events including Bishop Little League, Bishop AYSO, USA Soccer, BUHS baseball/softball/tennis, Community Gardens, Pickleball/Tennis, Bishop Park Pool, Bishop Swim Team, City League softball/soccer, Summer Camps, Bike Park, Dog Park, and general daily use of our existing facilities. Events hosted at the City Park include Mule Days Art in the Park, Labor Day Arts and Crafts, Fourth of July, Bishop Little League All-Star tournament, Eastern Sierra Cancer Alliance Annual Walk, Swim Team Invitational, Weddings, Gatherings, Parties, Fundraisers, and BUHS tournaments.
In 2019 the Community Services Department updated the Park Master Plan. As time has passed since the last update and community needs have shifted. The Community Services Department brought this item to the 2023 Strategic Planning meeting and City Council made this a priority for 2025-2026. The Community Services Department and Parks and Recreation Commission hosted a public outreach workshop in 2023 to address the City Park usage, and at the 2024 Strategic Planning meeting findings were presented.
In November of 2025, the Community Services Department reached out to Wood Rodgers to discuss a plan to move forward with a task order to engage in a community driven process to produce an up-to-date Parks Master Plan.
Analysis/Discussion:
The Community Services Department has worked with Wood Rodgers to develop the task order 25-TO-09 for the Parks Master Plan. This task order will help refine the public input gained from the Parks and Recreation workshop conducted in 2023 and includes additional community outreach and surveys.
Elements of this task order will include an assessment of existing facilities, future public workshop, public survey, development of concepts, a final conceptual plan and environmental assessment. The new Parks Master Plan will be a guiding document for the future planning of the City Park and Strategic Plan.
137
The Parks Master Plan task order 25-TO-09 was not included 2025-2026 budget and will need to have a budget adjustment to the Parks 001-031-52015 Professional Services in the amount of $158,325.
Economic Impacts:
The City Park is located in the downtown corridor of the City of Bishop. By creating facilities and opportunities at the City Park for expanded use the impact would hope to be park users frequenting businesses and establishments.
Budget Impacts:
Increase in spending in professional services, the required budget adjustment is included below.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Bishop is requesting a proposal from Wood Rodgers, Inc. to prepare a comprehensive Park Master Plan, building on the City’s initial public outreach efforts and the priorities established in the Council’s Strategic Plan. The Bishop City Park Master Plan will serve as a guiding document for the future development and redevelopment of community facilities to better meet the needs of Bishop and Eastern Sierra residents.
The Plan shall include updated goals and policies, an assessment of current and projected supply, demand, and needs for park and recreation facilities and services, and an action plan featuring conceptual site plans that provide a clear vision and projects “roadmap” for the next 2–15 years and beyond.
Working in coordination with City staff, the consultant will develop a well-defined set of goals, tasks, maintenance standards, and funding strategies for park facilities and recreation programs and services. The consultant will collaborate closely with Parks and Recreation, Planning, Public Works, the Parks & Recreation Commission, and the City Council throughout the preparation of the Master Plan.
Initial efforts with this project will include an assessment of the current City of Bishop Parks and preparing two (2) conceptual alternatives for park improvements which will be presented at a public workshop along with an online survey component. Concepts and a summary of the public input will be presented to the Parks Commission to determine a preferred concept. Wood Rodgers will utilize that input to finalize an illustrative Parks Master Plan including the conceptual plan for the park. Wood Rodgers will prepare the necessary environmental reviews for the Parks Master Plan. 139

VI. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A.

Upon receipt of said notice, the Consultant shall immediately cease all work under this Agreement, unless the notice provides otherwise. If the Agency terminates a portion of this Agreement, such termination shall not make void or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement.
B.

Upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to this section, the Consultant will submit an invoice to the Agency as provided herein above.
VII. DEFAULT
A. Either party's failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that either party is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, the affected party shall promptly notify the deficient party of such default and following such notice shall have no obligation or duty to 2 168
continue compensating or providing any work after the date of default and can terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the other party. If such failure hereunder arises out of causes beyond either party’s control, and without fault or negligence, it shall not be considered a default.
B. If the Agency City Administrator determines the Consultant is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, Agency shall cause to be served upon the Consultant a written notice of the default. The Consultant shall have ten (10) days after service of default notice to cure the default as directed by the Agency in the notice of default.

IX. INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFENSE
A. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless Agency and any and all of its officials, employees, agents, and/or volunteers (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, caused in whole or in part by the negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Consultant, its officers, agents, employees or subconsultants (or any agency or individual that Consultant shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant’s duty to indemnify and hold harmless Agency shall not extend to the Agency’s sole or active negligence or willful misconduct.
B. Duty to defend
In the event the Indemnified Parties, individually or collectively, are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from the performance of the services encompassed by this Agreement, and upon demand by Agency, Consultant shall defend the Indemnified Parties at Consultant’s cost or at Agency’s option, to reimburse Agency for its costs of defense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in the defense of such matters to the extent the matters arise from, relate to or are caused by Consultant’s negligent acts, errors or omissions. Payment by Agency is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this provision. In the event of any dispute between Consultant and Agency, as to whether liability arises from the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Agency or its officers, employees, or agents, Consultant will be obligated to pay for Agency’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the Indemnified Parties as solely or actively negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct. Consultant will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees, and costs of litigation.
X. INSURANCE
Consultant shall maintain prior to the beginning of and for the duration of this Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit C attached herewith and incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
XI. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
A. Consultant is and shall at all times remain as to the Agency a wholly independent contractor. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of Consultant shall at all times be under Consultant's exclusive direction and control. Neither Agency nor any of its officers, employees, or agents shall 4 170
have control over the conduct of Consultant or any of Consultant's officers, employees, or agents, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers, employees, or agents of the Agency.
Consultant shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability whatever against Agency, or bind Agency in any manner.
B. No employee benefits shall be available to Consultant in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Consultant as provided in the Agreement, Agency shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Consultant and/or its employees for performing services hereunder for Agency. Agency shall not be liable for compensation or indemnification to Consultant for injury or sickness to its employee(s) arising out of performing services hereunder.
XII. LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Consultant shall keep itself informed of local, state, and federal laws and regulations which in any manner affect those employed by it or in any way affect the performance of its service pursuant to this Agreement. The Consultant shall at all times observe and comply with all such laws and regulations. The Agency, and its officers and employees, shall not be liable at law or in equity occasioned by failure of the Consultant to comply with this section.
XIII. UNDUE INFLUENCE
Consultant declares and warrants that no undue influence or pressure was used against or in concert with any officer or employee of the Agency in connection with the award, terms, or implementation of this Agreement, including any method of coercion, confidential financial arrangement, or financial inducement. No officer or employee of the Agency has or will receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from Consultant, or from any officer, employee, or agent of Consultant, in connection with the award of this Agreement or any work to be conducted as a result of this Agreement. Violation of this section shall be a material breach of this Agreement entitling the Agency to any and all remedies at law or in equity.
XIV. NO BENEFIT TO ARISE TO AGENCY EMPLOYEES
During their tenure and for one year thereafter, no member, officer, or employee of Agency, or their designees or agents, and no public official who exercises authority over or responsibilities with respect to the services under this Agreement shall have any interest, direct or indirect, in any agreement or sub-agreement, or the proceeds thereof, for work to be performed in connection with the services performed under this Agreement.

XV. RELEASE OF INFORMATION/CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
A. All information gained by Consultant in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential and shall not be released by Consultant without Agency's prior written authorization. Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, or subconsultants, shall not without written authorization from the Agency City Administrator or unless requested by the Agency, voluntarily provide declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories, or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement or relating to any project or property located within the Agency.
Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Consultant gives Agency notice of such court order or subpoena.
B. Consultant shall promptly notify Agency should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, or subconsultants be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions, or other discovery request (“Discovery”), court order, or subpoena from any person or party regarding this Agreement and the work performed thereunder or with respect to any project or property located within the Agency, unless the Agency is a party to any lawsuit, arbitration, or administrative proceeding connected to such Discovery, or unless Consultant is prohibited by law from informing the Agency of such Discovery. Agency retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant and/or be present at any deposition, hearing, or similar proceeding as allowed by law. Unless Agency is a party to the lawsuit, arbitration, or administrative proceeding and is adverse to Consultant in such proceeding, Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with Agency and to provide the opportunity to review any response to Discovery requests provided by Consultant.

General liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to Agency as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by Agency’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with Agency for the contract period and any additional length of time required & 178
thereafter. Agency reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.
Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by Agency shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of Agency before the Agency’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against Agency, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against Agency and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
& 179
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.
Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the Agency with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the Consultant’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Consultant shall have the responsibility of notifying the Agency immediately in the event of Consultant’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Consultant (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all & 180
other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Consultant of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Consultant with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Consultant under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor.
Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to Agency for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the Agency and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Agency. Agency reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give Agency prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work. & 181

Date of Meeting: December 8, 2025
Department: Public Works
To: City Council
From: Nora Gamino
Subject: Public Hearing and Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Fees and Charges for Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permits
Prepared On: November 19, 2025
Attachments: Resolution - WDP Fees
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING - WDP FEES AND CHARGES
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
On November 10, 2025, the City Council introduced an ordinance adding Chapter 13.14 – Industrial Waste Discharge Permit Program to the Bishop Municipal Code. This ordinance establishes the City’s authority to regulate the discharge of temporary, non-domestic wastewater into the City’s publicly owned treatment works (POTW). This action fills an existing regulatory gap for activities such as groundwater dewatering, site remediation, constructionrelated discharges, and any other temporary discharges that are not ordinary domestic wastewater flows.
Chapter 13.14 authorizes the City Council to adopt fees by resolution to ensure full cost recovery for the administrative, monitoring, and treatment activities necessary to protect the City’s wastewater infrastructure and maintain compliance with state and federal requirements.
A separate fee resolution is required to establish the fees and charges to recover the cost of the permit program.
Analysis/Discussion:
The proposed fee schedule is based on reasonable estimates of staff time, laboratory testing costs, treatment costs, and administrative overhead required to administer Chapter 13.14.
Fees are structured to ensure that the permit holder, not City ratepayers, bears the full costs of providing this special, optional service.
WDP-1 – Application / Permit Issuance Fee:
$500 per permit
WDP-2 – Refundable Deposit:
$2,000 minimum, or higher if estimated project costs require 182
Ensures adequate funds are available for monitoring, lab work, and treatment WDP-3 – Inspection & Monitoring Fee:
$150 per inspection + actual laboratory costs
Deducted from the permittee’s deposit and reconciled at closeout WDP-4 – Treatment & Processing Fee:
$0.10 per gallon
Covers the City’s treatment, handling, and disposal costs WDP-5 – Administrative Oversight / Compliance Fee:
$120 per hour
Covers all staff time associated with administering Chapter 13.14, including application review, report review, monitoring coordination, enforcement follow-up, accidental discharge response, hearing/appeal processing, and all other administrative duties At the close of the permitted activity:
Actual costs are reconciled against the deposit.
Any remaining balance is refunded to the permit holder within 30 days.
If costs exceed the deposit, the remaining balance is invoiced and due within 30 days.
Unpaid balances are enforceable under the City’s new Chapter 13.14 as noncompliance costs.
This structure ensures cost recovery while protecting the City against unpaid fees.
Economic Impacts:
There are no significant economic impacts.
Budget Impacts:
There are no general fund impacts associated with this action. Implementation of the fee schedule for the permit program will be cost-neutral to the City, as all administrative and monitoring costs will be recovered through the adopted fees.
Legal Review:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
Council consideration to:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing regarding the proposed fees and charges for Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permits.
2. Adopt the proposed resolution establishing fees and charges associated with administering the Industrial Waste Discharge Program pursuant to Bishop Municipal Code Chapter 13.14 by title only.

Subject: ORDINANCE - First Reading and Introduction of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 5.34 to the Bishop Municipal Code Relating to Mobile Businesses
Prepared On: November 20, 2025
Attachments: Ordinance No. XXX Update to Title 5 Mobile Businesses
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City does not currently have comprehensive standards governing mobile businesses, defined in the ordinance as mobile vending operations, including the sale of food or merchandise from a vehicle, on either private property or within the public right-of-way. In practice, the Public Works Department has issued encroachment permits for all mobile business operators, including mobile food vendors, even when a vendor is not physically encroaching into the public right-of-way. This approach has created unnecessary administrative burden and placed Public Works in the position of managing vendor locations, durations, and operational details on a case-by-case basis.
Mobile business operators often request guidance from the City regarding acceptable locations, operational limitations, and compliance requirements, highlighting the need for clearer and more predictable regulations. At the same time, staff has identified the need to ensure that vending activities occur safely, do not obstruct mobility, and do not create conflicts with driveways, schools, intersections, or pedestrian routes.
The proposed ordinance creates a clear, flexible, and enforceable framework for mobile vending that removes unnecessary permit requirements while retaining common-sense operational restrictions needed to protect the public and adjacent businesses.
Analysis/Discussion:
The ordinance does not create any new mobile vending permit or regulatory program. Vendors will continue to operate with only a City Business License and any required Inyo County health permits (if applicable). A Public Works encroachment permit will be required when a vendor places tables, chairs, signs, or other equipment in the public right-of-way. Vendors operating solely from their vehicles and legally parked in the right-of-way will not require any Public Works approval.
188
Although the City does not currently charge for encroachment permits, this ordinance does not prevent the City from establishing a fee in the future should the need arise.
The ordinance establishes clear time, place, and manner requirements to ensure that mobile vending activities do not interfere with traffic, business access, pedestrian circulation, or public safety. These include setbacks from fire hydrants, crosswalks, building entrances, bus stops, and school frontage. Vendors must also comply with all state and local health, safety, and parking regulations.
The proposed ordinance significantly reduces the administrative workload for the Public Works Department by eliminating the current practice of issuing encroachment permits for all mobile food vendors, regardless of whether they actually encroach into the public right-of-way. Under the new framework, vendors who operate solely from their vehicles and do not place items such as tables, chairs, signs, or other equipment in the right-of-way will no longer require any permit from Public Works, allowing the department to focus on safety and access rather than routine approvals. This shift also removes staff from the role of assigning or managing vendor locations, resulting in a more efficient process for both the City and vendors while retaining the ability to regulate only those situations involving actual encroachments.
Vendors will have increased flexibility to operate throughout the City, provided they comply with the limited restrictions in the ordinance. This reduces the need for location-specific approvals and creates a predictable, and standardized set of operational rules for mobile businesses.
The ordinance also limits noise generated by mobile vending operations by prohibiting amplified sound or music used to advertise or draw attention to the vending vehicle. Only nonamplified sound is allowed, and it may not be used while the vehicle is stationary or be audible beyond 200 feet. These provisions help ensure compatibility with surrounding residential and commercial areas.
Economic Impacts:
There are no significant economic impacts.
Budget Impacts:
There are no significant budget impacts, however the ordinance is expected to reduce administrative workload related to permit processing.
Legal Review:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
Council consideration to approve the first reading and introduction of an ordinance adding Chapter 5.34 to the Bishop Municipal Code relating to mobile businesses by title only.

WHEREAS, the proposed regulations are intended to provide mobile vendors greater operational flexibility while maintaining appropriate safeguards to preserve public peace, safety, welfare, and the aesthetics of the community; and WHEREAS, the ordinance provides that encroachment permits shall be required when a vendor places tables, chairs, equipment, or other physical items within the public right-ofway, thereby aligning permit requirements with actual impacts to City infrastructure; and WHEREAS, the City of Bishop has reviewed the ordinance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and determined that the adoption of the ordinance is not a project under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) and therefore is not subject to CEQA review.

Agenda Item: 11.B
Date of Meeting: December 8, 2025
Department: Public Works
To: City Council
From: Nora Gamino
Subject: Final Water and Sewer Rate Design and Proposition 218 Authorization Prepared On: December 2, 2025
Attachments: Water & Sewer Rate Structure Presentation
Bishop Prop 218 Notice DRAFT
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City of Bishop provides water and sewer services to approximately 1,200 connections.
The last comprehensive rate study was completed in 2018, with rates adopted through 2024.
Those rates are expiring, and new rates must be adopted beginning in 2026 to ensure the continued financial stability of both utilities.
On August 25 and September 22, 2025, the City Council received presentations introducing rate-setting concepts, draft capital improvement plans (CIPs), and potential rate structure designs. On October 27, 2025, Council adopted the 2025–2030 Water and Sewer CIPs.
The adopted plans are foundational to the rate study, identifying the projects and funding needs that must be supported through future rate revenues. In developing the CIPs, staff intentionally reduced the scope of near-term water capital projects, particularly large-scale main replacements, to moderate the financial burden on customers. Instead, the water plan now emphasizes smaller, recurring line replacement projects and loan/grant-supported system upgrades.
Analysis/Discussion:
Since the October adoption of the CIPs, the City’s consultant has updated the financial model and developed new rate options that reflect the revised capital funding plans and financing assumptions.
The City had initially planned to pursue a USDA loan for the West Line Water Main Replacement Project; however, that option is no longer viable. To proceed with the project this fiscal year, the City proposes to instead fund the remaining costs through an interfund loan from the General Fund to the Water Fund. The loan amount is estimated at $1.5 million, to be repaid over five or ten years at an interest rate comparable to recent municipal borrowing rates (approximately 3.375%).
197
The updated rate model evaluates scenarios with and without future debt financing for both the water and sewer funds. These options demonstrate how borrowing versus cash-funding affects near-term rate impacts, reserve balances, and the utilities’ long-term financial health.
For the Water Fund, the updated five-year CIP includes approximately $2.3 million in ratefunded projects, with loan proceeds covering the remainder of near-term improvements. For the Sewer Fund, the plan assumes a mix of cash and debt funding to support $2.7 million in capital work, primarily collection system rehabilitation and planning for the future BAWA treatment facility.
Tonight’s presentation provides Council with final proposed rate design options for both utilities, reflecting these revised financial assumptions. Council approval of the Proposition 218 notice will finalize the proposed rates for public review.
Staff also seeks direction on whether to host an informational public meeting prior to the Proposition 218 hearing and on development of loan terms between the General Fund and Water Fund to replace the USDA financing.
Economic Impacts:
There are no immediate fiscal impacts from tonight’s actions. However, Council decisions regarding rate design, financing, and outreach will affect future rate revenues and the longterm financial stability of both utility funds.
Budget Impacts:
There are no immediate budget impacts. Costs for the rate study are included in the current fiscal year budget.
Legal Review:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
City Council consideration to:
1. Approve the preferred rate design option combination so the final Rate Study Report can be published with the Proposition 218 notice. Staff recommends Water Option B and Sewer Option A.
2. Provide direction to staff on whether to host a public outreach meeting prior to the Proposition 218 hearing.
3. Direct staff to develop proposed terms for an interfund loan from the General Fund to the Water Fund to finance the West Line Water Main Replacement Project.

Summary of Rate Study Progress
On August 25, the Council received an introductory presentation with 3 water and 3 sewer rate options
On September 22, the Council received an updated presentation with a revised rate option for each utility
Draft Water CIP identified $3.97M in project costs to be funded over the upcoming four years with a combination of cash ($1.9M) and loans ($2M) plus the West Line water project to be completed this year
Draft Sewer CIP identified $2.8M in future project costs proposed to be funded with a combination of cash ($1.4M) and loans ($1.4M)
This presentation covers new options based on updated capital costs and financing assumptions
2 200
What has been done to mitigate rate impacts?
The General Fund will loan $1.5 million to the Water Fund to complete the West Line water main replacement project to reduce immediate rate impacts and replace a USDA loan
The adopted water CIP reduces rate-funded project costs down from $3.97M to $2.34M
3 updated water financial plan options and 2 sewer options Rate structure changes are the same for all options

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON
PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO WATER AND SEWER RATES
February 23, 2026 at 6:00 pm
in the City Council Chambers at 301 West Line Street, Bishop, CA 93514 You are receiving this notice as owner of property or ratepayer receiving water and/or sewer service from the City of Bishop (City). The City Council will hold a public hearing on February 23, 2026 to hear public input and to consider and potentially approve water and sewer (wastewater) rate changes for the next five years.
Background
The City of Bishop provides water and sewer (wastewater) service to about 1,200 service connections including single family residences, apartments, retail stores, offices, hotels, restaurants, and other non-residential land uses. The City’s Water and Sewer Funds are self-supported from rate revenues and do not receive tax revenues. City staff last conducted a rate study in 2018 that lowered the single family residential water rate down from $37.00 to eventually settle at the current rate of $33.00 per month. The current single family residential sewer rate is $42.00 per month. Rates have remained the same over the past two years.
Rate increases are needed for both the water and sewer utilities to fund operating and maintenance expenses, debt service payments, infrastructure improvements, and to maintain emergency reserves. The proposed rates are based on a comprehensive cost of service study that calculates recommended water and sewer rates over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2026. The proposed rates do not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to each parcel.
In addition, the City proposes adjustments to the customer classifications to ensure equitable rates for all customers. The study upon which the rates are based is available for review on the City’s website.
Why is a water rate increase needed?
Current water rate revenues are no longer sufficient to fund the cost of service. Increases are needed to keep up with inflationary cost increases, particularly because the current rate is lower than the rate from 2018, despite significant increases to most operating expenses since then. In addition, the City needs to fund about $2.3 million of critical infrastructure improvements including pipeline replacements, well improvements, and equipment. Without proactive maintenance, the City will face costly water main breaks, more frequent repairs, and service interruptions. 230
2 Why is a sewer rate increase needed?
Similar to the Water Fund, the Sewer Fund has significant capital improvement needs. The City has identified $2.7 million in projects that need to be funded through sewer rate increases. Critical projects are needed to address deferred maintenance, sewer line rehabilitation, and preparation for a new consolidated regional treatment plant operated by Bishop Area Wastewater Authority (BAWA). The City is a member of BAWA along with the Eastern Sierra Community Services District (ESCSD). The two agencies plan to consolidate their treatment systems in the next five to seven years to achieve a better economy of scale and operate more efficiently. In the near-term, the City will fund costs related to planning, engineering, and land acquisition. Where possible, the City will pursue grants, but a portion of these costs will be funded by rates.
Proposed Water and Sewer Rates and Rate Structure Changes The City is largely unmetered and customers are billed flat (fixed) rates for water and sewer service that vary by customer class. Currently, the City has about 25 customer classes. The proposed rate plan will simplify and modernize the rate structures to better align with industry standard practices and to recover costs in a manner that is more proportional to how customers use the utilities. Attached and detached multiple family residential customer classes are proposed to be combined into a single class. Residential customers will continue to be billed based on number of dwelling units. Eight commercial classes are proposed to be reduced into three classes consisting of low intensity (Category A), medium intensity (Category B), and high intensity uses (Category C). Categories A, B, and C will be billed based on square feet of building size from Inyo County records. The water rate of each customer class is proportional to the estimated water consumption based on industry-typical usage patterns. The sewer rate of each customer class is proportional to estimated sewer flow in addition to estimated pollutants of each class.
Table 1 and Table 2 list the current and proposed residential water and sewer rates. Table 3 and Table 4 list the current and proposed commercial water and sewer rates. If adopted, new rates would go into effect July 1 of each year from 2026 to 2030. The bill impacts to each customer will vary based on customer class. For a single family residential customer, the current monthly water bill is $33.00 and the proposed July 1, 2026 water bill is $45.48, an increase of $12.48. The current monthly sewer bill is $42.00 and the proposed July 1, 2026 single family bill is $45.17, an increase of $3.17. Example bill impacts for three commercial customers are provided on page 6. If you would like additional information on how the proposed changes in water and sewer rates will affect your monthly bill or need more information about your customer classification, please contact the City at (760) 873-5863. 231

7 How do I file a protest or participate in the public hearing? Proposition 218 provides that “Property Related Fees” such as the water and sewer rates the City is proposing to adjust are subject to a “majority protest” process. Any property owner or ratepayer may submit a written protest of the proposed rates; provided, however, that only one protest will be counted per property. If protests are filed on behalf of a majority of the properties subject to the rates, the City cannot adopt the proposed rates.
How to Participate
The proposed rate increases are governed by section 6 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution (Proposition 218), Government Code sections 53751 et seq. and 53759 et seq., and related laws. Property owners subject to the proposed rates and ratepayers may participate in this ratemaking in a variety of ways. More information and the Rate Study Report are on the City’s website at https://cityofbishop.ca.gov/ or you can call (760) 873-5863. The City will hold a public hearing on February 23, 2026, to receive public comment, including any written protests to the proposed rates. Any property owner or ratepayer may submit one written protest per parcel. Immediately following the close of the public hearing on February 23, 2026, protests will be counted and validated. If valid protests are submitted for a majority (50% plus 1) of the parcels subject to the proposed rate increases, the City Council will not adopt the rates.
Every written protest MUST include ALL of the following to be counted:
1. A statement that it is a protest against the proposed water rates, sewer rates, or both;
2. Name of the property owner or customer who is submitting the protest;
3. Identification of the assessor’s parcel number or street address (service address) of the property for which the protest is made; and
4. An original signature of the record owner or customer who is submitting the protest.
Written protests may be submitted by:
1. Mail to: Prop 218 Protest, 377 West Line Street, Bishop, CA 93514; or
2. In-person delivery during normal business hours at 377 West Line Street, Bishop, CA 93514; or
3. In-person delivery at the Public Hearing, before the end of the Public Hearing.
Regardless of how the written protest is submitted, it must be received by the City before the end of the public hearing to be held on February 23, 2026, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at 301 West Line Street (City Council chambers), Bishop, CA 93514. (Postmark dates will not be accepted.) To ensure protests are genuine, they will not be accepted by e‐mail or other electronic means. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City, that the enclosed protest is for the Proposition 218 Protest. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest, but the Council welcomes all public input.
At the end of the public hearing, written protests will be counted in public view. If valid written protests are not submitted for a majority (50% plus 1) of the properties subject to the fees, the Council may adopt the proposed rates. The first rate change, if approved, will take effect on or after July 1, 2026.
Pursuant to California Government Code 53759, a 120-day statute of limitations applies to any legal challenge to a new, increased, or extended fee adopted by the City Council pursuant to this notice. 236
Agenda Item: 11.C
Date of Meeting: December 8, 2025

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City Council awards grant funding on an annual basis to various nonprofit organizations via the City's Grant in Support Program. The intent of the Grant in Support Program is to deliver needed community programs, events, and services that City staff are not able to provide.
Analysis/Discussion:
Each year, City Council appoints two councilmembers to comprise an ad hoc committee to review grant in support applications and make recommendations to the full City Council on awarding of grant in support funding. Councilmember Freundt and Mayor Kong, along with City staff for support and provision of application information, met to review all grant applications received. The City received fifteen applications for specific projects, of which ten were chosen to be recommended to the full City Council. The total expense associated with funding the ten recommended projects is $84,253.00. The City budgeted $100,000.00 for grants in support in the 2025-26 fiscal year budget and the total dollar request of the fifteen applications received totaled $133,694.00.
Economic Impacts:
Bishop residents will be provided with programs, events, and services that otherwise would not be available, or available to a lesser extent without grant funding. Each grant project is pursued with the intent of increasing the quality of life in the City of Bishop.
Budget Impacts:
The recommended amount of grant awards is included within the FY 2025-26 budget.
Legal Review:
Legal review is not required for this item.
Recommended Action:
