City Administrator’s Report
April 2026
During the month of April, I continued to focus on regional coordination, community engagement, and advancing key City priorities and projects.
I attended the Bishop Area Chamber of Commerce Ad Hoc meeting and the Eastern Sierra Council of Governments (ESCOG) meeting, continuing to strengthen regional partnerships and collaboration on issues impacting the City and surrounding communities. I also met with representatives from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to discuss matters of mutual interest and ongoing coordination.
I worked with potential developers on several promising projects throughout the City, with discussions focused on feasibility, alignment with City priorities, and opportunities to support thoughtful and beneficial growth.
Progress continued on the Park Master Plan, including hosting a community meeting to gather public input and feedback to help guide future planning and investment in City park facilities.
I also met with consultants regarding the A-Frame environmental review to ensure continued progress on required CEQA analysis and next steps for that project. In addition, the City Logo project was completed this month, marking an important milestone in the City’s rebranding efforts.
I attended the Child Abuse Prevention Month Flag Raising Ceremony, recognizing the importance of community awareness and support for children and families.
A substantial amount of time was also dedicated to preparation for the upcoming City of Bishop Strategic Planning session, including coordination of materials, agenda development, and alignment on key topics to support a productive and focused discussion with the City Council.

83 Agenda Item: 15.C
Date of Meeting: May 11, 2026
Department: Finance
To: City Council
From: Ethan Aukee
Subject: Budget Adjustment Request - Reallocation of Fire Department Expense Budget
Prepared On: April 29, 2026
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
Following review of the Fire Department’s current-year budget, City staff determined that the purchases of the Pumper Tender Apparatus and SCBA Air Compressor were completed under budget, leaving excess approved spending authority within a capital expense account.
Additionally, City staff do not expect to fully expend the budget within the expense account used for City Fire Callouts.
Based on these findings, City staff recommend reallocating existing approved appropriations to allow for the purchase of equipment and maintenance services that would otherwise be budgeted in the coming fiscal year. The proposed reallocation allows the Fire Department to address these needs during the current fiscal year without increasing the overall approved spending authority within the Fire Department’s General Fund budget.
Analysis/Discussion:
The proposed budget adjustment reallocates a total of $15,675 in existing approved spending authority within the Fire Department’s General Fund budget. The reallocation includes $11,073 from capital expense account 001-021-56028 and $4,602 from operating expense account 001-021-51009. This adjustment is being presented with the understanding that the reduced accounts will retain adequate budget authority for anticipated expenditures through the remainder of the fiscal year.
The reallocated spending authority would be moved to operating expense account 001-021- 52018 in the amount of $8,175 and operating expense account 001-021-52015 in the amount of $7,500. The budget within account 001-021-52018 would be used for the purchase of swift water rescue gear, while the budget within account 001-021-52015 would be used for critical 84 maintenance and repairs to Fire Department apparatus.
The City would fund 50% of these intended expenses. A corresponding request will be presented to the Rural Fire Protection District Board of Commissioners at its next regularly scheduled meeting to request funding for the remaining 50% share.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
The proposed budget adjustment supports the City’s strategic planning priorities related to public safety, emergency preparedness, and responsible fiscal management. Reallocating existing approved appropriations allows the Fire Department to acquire needed rescue equipment and complete critical apparatus maintenance without increasing the overall approved budget.
The adjustment also supports operational readiness by ensuring Fire Department personnel have access to appropriate equipment and that emergency response apparatus remain properly maintained and available for service.
Budget Impacts:
The proposed budget adjustment reallocates $15,675 in existing approved spending authority within the Fire Department’s General Fund budget. The adjustment does not increase the total approved Fire Department budget or require an additional General Fund appropriation.
The reallocation would move $11,073 from account 001-021-56028 and $4,602 from account 001-021-51009, and would increase account 001-021-52018 by $8,175 and account 001-021- 52015 by $7,500.
The City’s share of the proposed expenses is 50%. A corresponding funding request will be presented to the Rural Fire Protection District Board of Commissioners for the remaining 50% share.
Legal Review:
Legal review is not required for this item.
Recommended Action:
Approve the proposed budget adjustment reallocating existing appropriations within the Fire Department’s General Fund budget.

From: Ethan Aukee
Subject: Budget Adjustment Request - Reallocation of Water Fund Expense Budget
Prepared On: April 27, 2026
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City budgeted for the cost of pilot program water meters, and at the time of budgeting the unit cost was unknown. The City defaulted to budgeting the item within a capital expense account, with an understanding that reallocation may be needed once quotes are obtained.
The unit costs associated with obtaining the pilot program water meters and associated equipment does not exceed the City's capitalization threshold, therefore, approved spending authority will need to be reallocated to allow for proper accounting and expense reporting.
Analysis/Discussion:
The purchase order for the equipment totaled $24,232.54 and was approved under City Administrator authority. The associated spending was initially appropriated within GL account 004-050-56027 (capital expense) and needs to be reallocated to GL account 004-050-52018 (operating expense) to allow for proper accounting and reporting.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
None.
Budget Impacts:
Increase in 004-050-52018 budget in the amount of $24,233.00. Decrease in 004-050-56027 budget in the amount of $24,233.00. The suggested action results in a budget reallocation and does not authorize additional overall spending within the Water Fund.
Legal Review:
Legal review is not required for this item.
Recommended Action:
City Council to approve a reallocation from capital expense account 004-050-56027 to operating expense account 004-050-52018 in the amount of $24,233.00.

Subject: Agreement for LPG Propane and Services between the City of Bishop and Hunt Propane.
Prepared On: May 5, 2026
Attachments: Hunt Propane Vendor Agreement Final
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
Propane is utilized by nearly all of the City of Bishop Properties. The City propane service agreement also encompasses Sunrise Mobile Home Park, allowing the contract amount to be passed on to our low-income tenants. Timely LPG deliveries and customer service are an important factor as we also have propane at all the Fire Departments, Police Department and the water treatment plant where service cannot be interrupted. The current contract ends May 31, 2026.
Analysis/Discussion:
A Request for Proposals was issued on April 28, 2026. Proposals were received by May 7, 2026, at 11am. The proposals were opened and analysis was conducted. The lowest price for LPG Propane services is Hunt Propane. The Community Services Department recommends approval of the LPG Propane Services Agreement between the City of Bishop and Hunt Propane, with the initial term ending on May 11, 2027, with the option to extend annually oneyear up to two times.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
None
Budget Impacts:
All departments account for this item in annual budgets.
Legal Review:
Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
Council consideration to approve the LPG Propane and Services Agreement with Hunt 107

Upon receipt of said notice, the VENDOR shall immediately cease all work under this AGREEMENT, unless the notice provides otherwise.

VI. RETENTION OF FUNDS
VENDOR authorizes AGENCY to deduct from any amount payable to VENDOR (whether or not arising out of this AGREEMENT) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or that are necessary to compensate AGENCY for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by AGENCY, and all amounts for which AGENCY may be liable to third parties, by reason of VENDOR’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform VENDOR’s obligations under this AGREEMENT. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by VENDOR, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim of lien, AGENCY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount Hunt Propane Vendor Agreement Page 2 of 17
110
sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of AGENCY to exercise the right to deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations of VENDOR to insure, indemnify, and protect AGENCY as elsewhere provided in this AGREEMENT.
VII. AGENCY REPRESENTATIVE
The City Administrator or his/her designee is designated as the “AGENCY Representative”, authorized to act in its behalf with respect to the work and services specified in this AGREEMENT and to make all decisions in connection with this AGREEMENT.

Neither AGENCY nor any of its officials, employees or agents will have control over the conduct of the VENDOR or any of the VENDOR’s employees, except as otherwise set forth in this AGREEMENT. The VENDOR may not, at any time or in any manner, represent that it or any of its agents or employees are in any manner agents or employees of AGENCY.

The VENDOR must obtain an Agency business license prior to the start of work under this AGREEMENT, unless VENDOR is qualified for an exemption.

111
limitation specifications, drawings, progress reports and the like, relating to the project. All records will be available to AGENCY during normal working hours.
VENDOR will maintain these records for three (3) years after final payment.
XIII. INDEMNIFICATION
VENDOR shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the AGENCY, and its officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the VENDOR’s performance of its obligations under this AGREEMENT or out of the operations conducted by VENDOR, including the AGENCY’s active or passive negligence, except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the AGENCY. In the event the AGENCY indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, the VENDOR shall provide a defense to the AGENCY indemnitees or at the AGENCY’s option, reimburse the AGENCY indemnities their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.
Payment by AGENCY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity. In the event of any dispute between VENDOR and AGENCY, as to whether liability arises from the sole negligence of the AGENCY or its officers, employees, or agents, VENDOR will be obligated to pay for AGENCY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the AGENCY as solely negligent. VENDOR 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.
XIV. NON-LIABILITY OF AGENCY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the AGENCY to inform VENDOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the AGENCY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Hunt Propane Vendor Agreement Page 6 of 17
114
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 VENDOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the AGENCY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the VENDOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the AGENCY.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that AGENCY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability 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 VENDOR’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. VENDOR agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by VENDOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of VENDOR. VENDOR 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.
VENDOR agrees that upon request, all AGREEMENTS with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project 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 VENDOR ninety (90) days advance written Hunt Propane Vendor Agreement Page 7 of 17
115
notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the VENDOR, the AGENCY and VENDOR may renegotiate VENDOR’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. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by AGENCY.
Timely notice of claims. VENDOR shall give AGENCY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from VENDOR’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. VENDOR 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.

Subject: Amendment to the Agreement Between the County of Inyo The Bishop Paiute Tribe and City of Bishop For the Provision of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Cost Sharing.
Prepared On: May 5, 2026
Attachments: Amendment Number 3 EMS Cost Sharing Agreement
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
In April of 2023 Symons Ambulance terminated its agreement to provide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the Bishop area. Beginning in July of 2023 Sierra Life Flight began providing EMS in the Bishop area. In January of 2024, the City of Bishop, the County of Inyo and the Bishop Paiute Tribe entered into an agreement to financially support EMS in the Bishop area.
Analysis/Discussion:
In June of 2025 the second amendment to the Cost Share Agreement was executed. The cost for the service remains the same as the past agreement based on population served. City of Bishop share is $75,172, County of Inyo share is $141,181 and the Bishop Paiute Tribe share is $37,674 for a total of $254,028.
Earlier this year, Inyo County issued an RFP for EMS Services and that process is currently ongoing and a new EMS contract is expected in the coming months. That contract will not be in place prior to the expiration of this agreement, therefore there is the need to consider this amendment until the new contract is in place.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
Providing EMS Services to our community is a vital service.
Budget Impacts:
The annual cost of this agreement is $75,172, although it is expected that this agreement will only by in place for a few months of the year.

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City Council selected the City Park Master Plan as a priority for the 2025-2026 Strategic Plan. The Community Services Department selected Wood Rodgers to develop a Parks Master Plan. The process for the development included the use of past public workshops conducted at Parks and Recreation Commission meeting in 2024. Wood Rodgers has launched a survey to collect data for community input and hosted a public workshop at the March 2026 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.
The outcome of these efforts has been refined to develop one preferred Master Plan concept.
The preferred concept was presented to the Parks and Recreation on April 22nd, 2026. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed and discussed the preferred concept with public input.
Analysis/Discussion:
Included in the Master Plan documents are public outreach efforts, preferred concept, and cost analysis. Our next steps are to have a discussion with the City Council, the public, and Wood Rodgers then, present the Master Plan documents to the Strategic Planning. Once adopted, the Community Services Department will use the City Parks Master Plan as guiding document for future plans and upgrades for the City Park.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
The City Parks Master Plan was identified as a priority project for 2025-2026 in the Strategic Plan objective 1.2 support community spaces: create and maintain partnerships.
Budget Impacts:

1. INTRODUCTION
1 Source: US Census Bureau: 2020 Decennial Census, https://bit.ly/48sLs56 2 Source: City of Bishop: Demographics, https://bit.ly/3QSLY6p The City of Bishop, California is located in the Owens Valley serving as a year-round recreation gateway providing access to the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the west and the White Mountains to the east. Bishop is home to 3,819 residents1 within the City limits but serves the larger regional population of over 10,000 people2.
Located on US 395, Bishop sees thousands of visitors each year heading to the surrounding world class recreation opportunities ranging from rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, camping, skiing, and more. While many take advantage of the surrounding outdoor recreation opportunities, the City of Bishop also provides local recreation opportunities for the surrounding community and visitors through the park, which is also host to many regional community events.

City of Bishop | City Park Master Plan
The Park includes ±49.5 Acres in the heart of the community providing recreation opportunities such as soccer, softball, baseball, swimming, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, football, playgrounds, skateboarding, mountain biking, and community gardening. Events hosted at the park include Mule Days, Labor Day Arts & Crafts Festival, Community Band Concerts, Earth Day, Trunk or Treat, Softball / Tennis tournaments, Big Day in the Park (4th of July), Tree Lighting Ceremony Christmas Parade, Arbor Day, Bishop Invitational, and Twilight Swim Meet.
Established in the 1970s, the Park has continued to evolve with the City over the last 50+ years with various improvements to support the community and transforming into a recreation hub for the surrounding area.
Previous Master Plans were developed in 1990, 2002, 2008, and 2009. Much of the park land is owned by Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) and the City of Bishop has a long-term lease to operate the park on these lands. The City of Bishop owns ±6.5 acres of the Park. The Park is an important element of the community and continues to be a top priority for the City of Bishop. The City of Bishop Park Master Plan provides a guiding vision for implementing future park improvements.

4. PUBLIC OUTREACH SUMMARY
The City of Bishop engaged the community through two public outreach efforts to inform the City Park Master Plan. An online survey collected 890 responses from residents, park users, and regional visitors, with 260 participants providing additional written comments. A community workshop provided an opportunity for in-person engagement, drawing 50+ attendees who submitted 72 written comments via activity boards.
Combined, these efforts reached approximately 940 community participants.
Survey respondents were predominantly residents within Bishop city limits (59%), with additional participation from surrounding Inyo and Mono County communities. The largest respondent age group was 31–50 (57%), with strong representation across all age groups. Respondents identified primarily as community members and residents (78%), with significant participation from parents and guardians (46%) and coaches (13%), reflecting the park's importance as a hub for youth sports and family recreation.

Common Renovation & Improvement Themes Top Amenities The Community Would Like To See Community Voices
How They Feel About the Park Today
• Widely loved: Used daily by residents of all ages
• Safety & cleanliness are top concerns: restrooms, transient activity near family areas • Sports facilities are heavily used but aging: soccer fields, volleyball courts, skate park • Scheduling conflicts frustrate users: pickleball, pool hours, lit field access • Bike park is a regional draw — residents want it protected and expanded How They Feel About the Park Moving Forward
• Year-round usability is a priority: shade, splash pad, and indoor facilities for a high-desert climate • Basketball courts are the #1 requested addition — the only major sport with no public facility in Bishop • Underserved groups need more: girls softball, adult soccer, seniors, low-cost youth options • Infrastructure before new amenities — better lighting and facility upgrades ranked above additions • Visitor Services is a priority for many residents, with community discussion ongoing around the best path forward. 100 200 300 400 500

5. PARK MASTER PLAN
The Park Master Plan provides a guiding vision
for future park improvements over the next
20+ years. A Master Plan is a living document
and it is understood that the Park Master Plan
may be amended or modified through the
design phases in order to meet current
standards and/or to provide modern amenities
as projects are implemented. The Park Master
Plan should be reviewed every five to ten years
to ensure the proposed improvements reflect
the most current City priorities, changes in
demographics, and continue to compliment
other guiding documents and plans.
Additional Future Considerations • Ongoing sidewalks / shared use pathways / ADA improvements within the park.
• Safety enhancements for bike and
pedestrian connectivity to the park
(crosswalk improvements, connect trail
and sidewalk gaps).
• Add security lighting and cameras. • Add electrical connections for events. • Add playground amenities, shade, improvements for outdated equipment.
• Monitor and rehab skate park as
necessary.
• Ongoing tree removal & replacement for
problematic trees.
• Ongoing pool maintenance, repairs and
replacement.
• Continue coordination with LADWP for
adjacent land and future park expansion
options, e.g., constructing additional fields,
potential relocation of elements such as
dog park to accommodate a larger indoor
recreation facility.

6. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The implementation plan provides an initial tool for City staff to utilize for initiating grant applications and projects based on current priorities, potential funding available, and a reasonable direction for the next 5+ years working towards the larger vision of the Park Master Plan. Implementation of the Park Master Plan may change over time based on available funding sources, annual budgets and City priorities, ongoing maintenance needs, and other factors that may influence certain improvements over others. Proposed Park amenities may also be modified from the Master Plan through the environmental and design phase based on current standards and budget available.

It hosts baseball, softball, soccer, football and T-ball events. Due to the overlapping and consistent frequency of use, the condition of the turf is weathered, compacted, and degraded in high use areas. Field striping for soccer matches is burned into the turf, requiring less yearround maintenance, but presents a slight safety concern due to the nature of uneven turf where striping is present. The (7) light poles are equipped with halogen lighting, which could be converted to L.E.D. fixtures for energy consumption purposes. City staff should ensure that any such conversion to L.E.D lighting will exhibit adequate lighting output for nighttime play. The raised planter area behind home plate of Field 1 should be evaluated and considered for removal or replacement due to overgrown tree. 168

City of Bishop Parks Master Plan 12
What was the common theme of things that need renovation or improvement? Public Outreach
Facilities
• Bathrooms unsafe, dirty, and inadequate — especially
near ball fields
• Pool changing rooms and bathrooms in poor condition
• No restrooms near community garden or back fields
• Playground equipment dated, lacking shade
Access & Infrastructure
• No safe pedestrian crossings on Main Street
• No bike lanes connecting to park
• Community garden road unpaved and inaccessible
• No bike racks at park entrances
Missing Amenities
• No basketball courts — only major sport with no public facility in Bishop
• No year-round pool or indoor recreation space
• No splash pad despite extreme summer heat
Lighting
• Only 1 lit field — causes scheduling bottlenecks and late youth games
• Tennis & pickleball lights require 48-hr advance
reservation and $6/hr fee
Surface & Condition
• Volleyball sand is dangerous gravel — not actual sand • Soccer fields are uneven with hazardous burned field lines • Skate park transitions are abrupt and unsafe
• Walking paths are uneven tripping hazards — not ADA
compliant
• Bike park jumps deteriorating without irrigation

How They Feel About the Park Today How They Feel About the Park Moving Forward Community Voices
• Widely loved: Used daily by residents of all ages
• Safety & cleanliness are top concerns: restrooms,
transient activity near family areas
• Sports facilities are heavily used but aging: soccer
fields, volleyball courts, skate park
• Scheduling conflicts frustrate users: pickleball,
pool hours, lit field access
• Bike park is a regional draw — residents want it
protected and expanded
• Year-round usability is a priority: shade, splash
pad, and indoor facilities for a high-desert climate
• Basketball courts are the #1 requested addition
— the only major sport with no public facility in
Bishop
• Underserved groups need more: girls softball,
adult soccer, seniors, low-cost youth options
• Infrastructure before new amenities — better
lighting and facility upgrades ranked above
additions
• Visitor Services is a priority for many residents,
with community discussion ongoing around the
best path forward.

City of Bishop Parks Master Plan 15
What is a Master Plan?
A master plan is a long-range guide for how a place should grow and improve over time. It is not a construction commitment or a budget — it is a shared vision that helps decision-makers prioritize investments as funding becomes available.
For Bishop City Park, the Master Plan:
• Documents existing conditions: what the park has today, what's working, and what needs attention
• Captures community priorities: through public surveys, meetings, and open comment periods • Proposes improvements: organized by need, feasibility, and community demand • Provides a roadmap, so that future funding, grants, and partnerships can be directed toward agreed-upon goals
A master plan is a living document. Priorities may shift, costs will be refined, and community needs will evolve. What it provides today is a clear, community-informed direction for the future of Bishop City Park.

Subject: First Reading and Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Section
9.12.010 of the Bishop Municipal Code Relating to the Juvenile Curfew Prepared On: May 5, 2026
Attachments: Ordinance - Amending Section 9.12.010 - Juvenile Curfew
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City of Bishop’s current juvenile curfew ordinance was last substantially updated in 1985.
Since that time, significant legal, social, and regulatory changes have occurred that affect both the enforceability and clarity of the ordinance.
This issue was recently brought forward by local high school students (Bishop Student Senate) who identified discrepancies between the City’s curfew ordinance and California’s provisional driver’s license restrictions. Students also noted outdated terminology and inconsistencies that created confusion regarding when minors are legally permitted to be in public during nighttime hours.
Upon further review, City staff and the City Attorney identified several deficiencies in the existing ordinance, including:
Use of outdated and legally problematic terminology such as “loiter,” which has been found unconstitutionally vague in the context of juvenile curfew laws (see Nunez v. City of San Diego).
Reliance on “sunrise” as a curfew end time, which varies seasonally and creates ambiguity.
Outdated exemptions, including references that are no longer consistent with modern legal standards.
Lack of clearly defined enforcement procedures and constitutionally sufficient exceptions.
Additionally, the current ordinance does not adequately reflect modern constitutional requirements or best practices for narrowly tailored curfew regulations.
Analysis/Discussion:
205
The City has authority under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution to enact ordinances to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
While the State of California does not impose a statewide juvenile curfew, state law expressly permits local jurisdictions to adopt and enforce their own curfew ordinances. Welfare and Institutions Code § 625.5 authorizes peace officers to take minors into temporary custody for curfew violations.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
This aligns with the City of Bishop's Strategic Plan Mission 4 Objective 4.2: Support a connected and engaged community where all residents feel represented and informed.
Budget Impacts:
There is no significant fiscal impact associated with this amendment. The ordinance primarily clarifies existing law and improves enforceability. Minor administrative or training updates may be required for implementation.
Legal Review:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds it complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
Council consideration to approve the first reading and introduction of an ordinance amending Section 9.12.010 of the Bishop Municipal Code to modernize the City’s juvenile curfew regulations, ensure compliance with current legal standards, and align with California provisional driver’s license restrictions.

ORDINANCE NO. _____
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BISHOP, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 9.12.010 OF CHAPTER
9.12 OF TITLE 9 OF THE BISHOP CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING
TO THE JUVENILE CURFEW
WHEREAS, the City of Bishop (the “City”) has the authority under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of its residents; and WHEREAS, California Welfare and Institutions Code section 625.5 expressly authorizes the peace officers of a city to take into temporary custody any minor who is in violation of a curfew ordinance of that city; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bishop has long maintained a juvenile curfew ordinance, codified at Bishop Code of Ordinances section 9.12.010, which prohibits persons under the age of 18 from loitering in public places between 10:00 p.m. and sunrise of the following day when unaccompanied by a parent, guardian, or other adult having legal care, custody, or control of the minor; and
WHEREAS, the existing curfew ordinance was adopted decades ago and contains outdated and imprecise language, including the term “loiter,” which has been held unconstitutionally vague in the juvenile curfew context by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Nunez v. City of San Diego, 114 F.3d 935, 940–941 (9th Cir. 1997); the reference to “sunrise” (which varies substantially throughout the year); and an exception applicable only to a “spouse of such person over 21 years of age,” which is no longer consistent with modern practice; and
WHEREAS, the proposed curfew hours of 11:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. closely align with the restrictions imposed upon provisional (minor) driver’s licenses under California Vehicle Code section 12814.6, which generally prohibits a licensee under 18 years of age from driving between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., thereby creating a more consistent and understandable regulatory framework for minors, parents, and law enforcement; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that juvenile curfew regulations, when appropriately tailored, serve compelling governmental interests in protecting the safety and welfare of minors, reducing juvenile victimization and delinquency during late-night hours, strengthening parental authority and responsibility for the whereabouts of minors, and preserving the peace of residential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the amended ordinance is narrowly tailored to serve those interests, and is drafted to address the constitutional infirmities identified in Nunez v. City of San Diego, 114 F.3d 935 (9th Cir. 1997) by (i) avoiding the imprecise and potentially vague verbs “loiter, idle, wander, stroll, or play” in favor of the more objective formulation “be present or remain”; (ii) providing meaningful, enumerated 207
City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ Page 2
defenses for minors accompanied by a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult, or engaged in or traveling to or returning from lawful employment, a school-sponsored or officially supervised activity, a religious activity, or an activity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Article I, Section 2 of the California Constitution; (iii) ensuring that each activity-based defense includes a “going to or returning from” component so that the defense is not rendered “hollow”; (iv) preserving parental authority through exceptions for parent-directed errands and for activities undertaken with parental permission; and (v) requiring law enforcement to inquire into the minor’s age and reason for being in the public place before enforcement action is taken; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the amended ordinance does not unreasonably interfere with the fundamental due process right of parents to direct the care, custody, and upbringing of their children, because the ordinance does not apply when the minor is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult; when the minor is on an errand at the direction of the minor’s parent, guardian, or responsible adult; or when the minor is engaged in activities that parents would reasonably be expected to permit, including employment, school and religious activities, and activities protected by the First Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the proposed amendment and finds that adoption of this ordinance is in the best interests of the residents and visitors of the City of Bishop.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BISHOP DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. RECITALS. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference as findings of the City Council.

E. Definitions. For purposes of this section, “emergency” means an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action, including, without limitation, a fire, a natural disaster, an automobile accident, or a situation requiring immediate action to prevent serious bodily injury or loss of life. “Responsible adult” means a person at least 21 years of age and authorized by the minor’s parent or legal guardian to have the care and custody of the minor.

SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. The City Council finds that this ordinance is not a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), because it consists of an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and is therefore not subject to CEQA review.

From: Ethan Aukee
Subject: Review of the Utility Rate Assistance Program Application Form Prepared On: April 28, 2026
Attachments: Utility Rate Assistance Program Application Form
STAFF REPORT
Background/History:
The City has updated the Bishop Municipal Code and adopted a resolution establishing an updated Utility Rate Assistance Program. City staff has also developed the internal documents and administrative processes necessary for the program to begin on July 1, 2026.
At a prior City Council meeting, the City Council requested an opportunity to review the application form before open enrollment begins. The proposed application form is attached for Council review.
City staff intend to begin marketing open enrollment for the program on May 15, 2026, provided the application form has been finalized by that date.
Analysis/Discussion:
The proposed application form collects applicant information, utility account information, certification of eligibility, program acknowledgements, applicant certification, City approval and determination of program enrollment period.
The eligibility certification section identifies six programs that may be used to certify an applicant's eligibility for the City's Utility Rate Assistance Program. A seventh option, titled "Other/Unlisted," is included for applicants who are enrolled in a similar qualifying assistance program that is not specifically listed.
Use of the "Other/Unlisted" option is subject to review and approval by the Finance Director and the City Administrator. Staff will retain documentation for any approvals granted under this option to ensure consistency and provide precedent for evaluating future applications.
Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:
The updated Utility Rate Assistance Program supports the City Council’s goal of maintaining 211
essential City services in a manner that is financially responsible, administratively transparent, and responsive to community needs. The program provides a structured mechanism to assist qualifying utility customers while preserving clear eligibility standards, documentation requirements, and internal controls.
Review of the proposed application form also supports effective program implementation by ensuring that the City Council has an opportunity to confirm the program is being administered consistent with the adopted ordinance, resolution, and intended policy direction before open enrollment begins.
Budget Impacts:
There is no direct budget impact associated with review of the proposed application form.
Program costs associated with the Utility Rate Assistance Program will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget. The fiscal impact will depend on the number of approved applicants and the total amount of utility rate assistance provided during the fiscal year. Staff will monitor program participation and related costs to ensure the program is administered within the funding authorized by the City Council.
Legal Review:
The City Attorney has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
Recommended Action:
Review the proposed Utility Rate Assistance Program application form and provide direction to staff regarding any desired revisions prior to the commencement of open enrollment.
