City Administrator’s Report
May 2026
During the month of May, significant effort was focused on strategic planning, interagency coordination, and supporting City operations during several major community events and unexpected challenges.

A key accomplishment this month was the successful completion of the City of Bishop’s annual Strategic Planning Session. The meeting provided an opportunity for the City Council and staff to discuss priorities, establish goals, and identify key initiatives for the coming year. Since the session, considerable time has been dedicated to organizing the Council’s direction into a working implementation framework, including the development of a strategic calendar and action plan to help ensure accountability and progress on the priorities identified.

I continued meeting with Inyo County officials on matters of mutual interest and regional importance. Work also continued on the Housing Needs Assessment, with efforts focused on finalizing the assessment and preparing for the next phase of implementation, including strategies and tools to address local housing needs.

The City experienced a significant wind event during the month that resulted in substantial debris, impacts to City facilities, and cleanup needs throughout the community. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our Parks, Public Works, and Fire Department teams for their exceptional efforts in responding to the event. Their hard work, flexibility, and commitment allowed the City to address immediate concerns, restore affected areas, and maintain services during a challenging situation.

Despite the impacts of the windstorm, the annual Mule Days celebration was a tremendous success. The event showcased the strength and resilience of our community and would not have been possible without the dedication of City staff.

Special thanks are due to our Parks, Public Works, Fire, and Police Department teams, whose preparation, coordination, and support helped ensure a safe and successful event for residents and visitors alike.

As we move into the summer months, staff will continue working to implement the priorities identified during the Strategic Planning Session while advancing ongoing projects and maintaining the high level of service our community expects. 16 Agenda Item: 8.A
Date of Meeting: June 8, 2026
Department: City Clerk
To: City Council
From: Robin Picken
Subject: RESOLUTIONS: November 2026 General Municipal Election Prepared On: May 5, 2026
Attachments: Resolution - Call for Election for City Offices Resolution - Request Consolidation with County Election Resolution - Regulations for Candidate's Statements

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:

The attached resolutions are necessary for the City of Bishop to consolidate its General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election scheduled on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The City needs to hold an election for two Council seats. The terms for City Council Members Stephen Muchovej and Karen Schwartz will be expiring.

There are three (3) proposed resolutions attached for Council’s consideration.

1. A proposed resolution that calls for the holding of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for the election of certain officers as required by the provisions of the laws of the state of California relating to General Law cities. This resolution will call an election for the selection of two council members.

2. A proposed resolution that requests consolidation with the County of Inyo for the City’s election for these offices.

3. A proposed resolution that sets forth regulations on candidate statements for these offices.

Analysis/Discussion:

The attached resolutions set in motion the process by which two council members will be selected to upcoming terms. These resolutions are procedural in nature and are required for the City to decide these matters at the upcoming election November 3, 2026.

The first resolution calls the election for the election of two council seats. The second resolution requests that the County of Inyo consolidate its election with the City of Bishop’s election for these City offices. This allows the City to avoid the cost of conducting a separate election for its own offices and provides the public with the convenience of voting for city, county, state and federal matters all on the same ballot. 17 The third resolution sets forth regulations regarding the submission of candidate statements for the city council offices. The proposed resolution provides that candidate statements are due at the time nomination papers are filed and contains required language regarding translation of these statements.

Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:

Not applicable.

Budget Impacts:

Costs associated with running a consolidated election with the County of Inyo Elections Office since November of 2012 has saved the City of Bishop thousands of dollars. The City has been able to save even more money since the County upgraded their voting technology in 2020. The City was invoiced a total of $4,870.73 to pay for its portion of costs incurred by the County of Inyo Elections Office to conduct the consolidated November 5, 2024 General Elections for the City of Bishop. The City's estimated cost is $5,000.00 to pay for its portion of costs to be incurred by the County of Inyo Elections Office to conduct the consolidated November 3, 2026 General Elections for the City of Bishop.

Legal Review:

City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.

Recommended Action:

Council consideration to adopt each resolution individually by title only in order to facilitate the General Municipal Election to be held November 3, 2026.

City Council
City of Bishop
Bishop, CA
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide City of Bishop for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Audit Scope and Objectives
We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, including the disclosures, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements of City of Bishop as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), to supplement City of Bishop’s basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to City of Bishop’s RSI in accordance with GAAS. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1) Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
2) Budget to Actual Schedule
3) Pension Trend Information in accordance with GASB 68 4) OPEB Trend Information in accordance with GASB 75
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment of a reasonable user made based on the financial statements.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS and will include tests of your accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 41 2
We will evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management. We will also evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and determine whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the government or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the government.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements may not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that comes to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.

We will also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, creditors, and financial institutions. We will also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement.

We may, from time to time and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service providers in serving your account. We may share confidential information about you with these service providers but remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures, and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work provided by any such third-party service providers.

Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities.

Audit Procedures—Internal Control
We will obtain an understanding of the government and its environment, including internal control relevant to the audit, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies in internal control. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion.

However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards.

We have identified the following significant risk(s) of material misstatement as part of our audit planning:

According to GAAS, significant risks include management override of controls, and GAAS presumes that revenue recognition is a significant risk. Accordingly, we have considered these as significant risks. 42 3
Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of City of Bishop’s compliance with the provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements. However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion.

Other Services
We will also assist in preparing the state controller financial transaction report and the financial statements of City of Bishop in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America based on information provided by you.

We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. The other services are limited to the State Controller financial transaction report and the financial statement services previously defined. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities.

You agree to assume all management responsibilities for the financial statement preparation services and any other nonattest services we provide; oversee the services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of the services; and accept responsibility for them.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you acknowledge and understand your responsibility for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including monitoring ongoing activities; for the selection and application of accounting principles; and for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the oversight of those charged with governance..

Management is responsible for making drafts of financial statements, all financial records, and related information available to us and for the accuracy and completeness of that information (including information from outside of the general and subsidiary ledgers). You are also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, identification of all related parties and all related-party relationships and transactions, and other matters; (2) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters.

Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements of each opinion unit taken as a whole.

You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the government involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the government received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring that the government complies with applicable laws and regulations.

You are responsible for the preparation of the supplementary information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. 43 4
You also agree to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon OR make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon.

Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with GAAP; (2) you believe the supplementary information, including its form and content, is fairly presented in accordance with GAAP; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the supplementary information.

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:

The proposed MOU establishes a partnership between the City of Bishop, the Bishop Fire Protection District, and the Bishop Paiute Tribe to jointly fund the purchase of a ladder truck that will enhance fire protection and emergency response capabilities throughout the Bishop area.

The total purchase price of the ladder truck is $1,732,745. Funding for the project consists of a federal reimbursement component and equal local contributions from each participating agency.

The MOU identifies the City as the lead agency responsible for procurement, project administration, financial tracking, reimbursement requests, and accounting oversight.

The ladder truck will provide critical firefighting and emergency response capabilities that benefit the City, surrounding service areas, and tribal lands. The cooperative funding approach ensures that the cost of the apparatus is shared equally among the three local partners while maximizing available federal funding.

The proposed accounting structure was designed to maintain a single audit-ready project fund, provide clear documentation of all transactions, and ensure proper tracking of federal reimbursement and partner contributions. This approach simplifies project administration and supports compliance with federal and local financial reporting requirements.

Approval of the MOU will allow the City to proceed with the purchase and reimbursement process while formalizing the financial responsibilities of each participating agency. 52 Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:

This purchase in this manner meets Objective 2.4 - Collaborate with regional partners and 5.2 Develop plans for improved public safety facilities of the Strategic Plan.

Budget Impacts:

The funding plan is structured as follows:

Funding Source Amount
Federal Reimbursement $1,214,366
City of Bishop Contribution $172,793
Bishop Rural Fire Protection District Contribution $172,793 Bishop Paiute Tribe Contribution $172,793
Total Project Funding $1,732,745

Date of Meeting: June 8, 2026

To: City Council
From: Nate Derr
Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Section

9.12.010 of the Bishop Municipal Code Relating to the Juvenile Curfew Prepared On: May 28, 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:
82 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 Second reading and Adoption of an ordinance amending Section 9.12.010 of the Bishop Municipal Code by title only to modernize the City’s juvenile curfew regulations, ensure compliance with current legal standards, and align with California provisional driver’s license restrictions.

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 84 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.

SECTION 2. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 9.12.010. Section 9.12.010 of Chapter 9.12 of Title 9 of the Bishop Code of Ordinances is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

9.12.010. Curfew.

A. Prohibition. It is unlawful for any person under the age of 18 years to be present or remain in or upon any public street, public place, or any place open to the public within the City of Bishop between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. of the following day.

B. Defenses. It is a defense to prosecution under subsection A that, at the time of the alleged violation, the minor was:

1. Accompanied by the minor’s parent or legal guardian, or by another adult person, at least 21 years of age, having the legal care, custody, or control of such minor;
85 City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ Page 3

2. On an errand at the direction of the minor’s parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult, without any detour or stop;

3. In a motor vehicle involved in interstate travel;

4. Engaged in lawful employment activity, or going to or returning directly home from lawful employment activity, without any detour or stop;

5. Involved in an emergency;

6. On the sidewalk abutting the minor’s residence or the residence of a next-door neighbor, provided the neighbor has not complained to the Bishop Police Department regarding the minor’s presence;

7. Attending, or going to or returning directly home from, without any detour or stop, an official school activity, a religious activity, or another recreational activity supervised by adults and sponsored by the City of Bishop, a civic organization, a charitable organization, a religious entity, an accredited public or private school, or another similar entity that accepts responsibility for the minor;

8. Engaged in, or going to or returning directly home from, without any detour or stop, an activity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Article I, Section 2 of the California Constitution, including without limitation the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, the right of assembly, and the right to petition the government; or

9. Emancipated under California law, or married or has been married.

C. Enforcement procedure. Before taking any enforcement action under this section, a peace officer shall ask the apparent offender’s age and the reason for the minor’s presence in the public place during curfew hours. The officer shall not issue a citation, take the minor into custody, or make an arrest under this section unless the officer reasonably believes that an offense has occurred and that, based on the minor’s responses and other circumstances, no defense under subsection B is applicable.

D. Penalty. A violation of this section shall be punishable as set forth in Chapter 1.16 of this Code.

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.
(Prior Code, § 13-7; Code 1985, § 9.12.010; Ord. No. ___, § __, 2026) 86 City of Bishop Ordinance No. ___ Page 4
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.

SECTION 4. INCONSISTENCIES. Any provision of the Bishop Code of Ordinances or appendices thereto inconsistent with the provisions of this ordinance, to the extent of such inconsistencies and no further, is hereby repealed or modified to the extent necessary to effect the provisions of this ordinance.

SECTION 5. SEVERABILITY. If any provision, clause, sentence, or section of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, clauses, sentences, sections, or applications of this ordinance which can be implemented without the invalid provision, clause, sentence, section, or application; and to this end, the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

SECTION 6. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its final adoption. A summary of this ordinance shall be published once within fifteen (15) days after its adoption, along with the names of the City Council members voting for and against the ordinance, in The Inyo Register, a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the County of Inyo and circulated in the City of Bishop, and hereby designated for that purpose by the City Council.

SECTION 7. CERTIFICATION AND PUBLICATION. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published in the manner and form provided by law in The Inyo Register, a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City of Bishop, State of California, which said newspaper is hereby designated for that purpose.

SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions intended to ensure the funds collected under SB 1 for road work are used for that purpose. One provision is that to receive SB 1 funds, the City must transmit a list of projects it intends to fund with SB 1 funds each fiscal year to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The deadline to submit a list of projects for the 2026-2027 fiscal year is July 1, 2026.

Analysis/Discussion:

The attached resolution has been prepared based on the CTC’s resolution template. The resolution includes a list with the proposed project and other project information required by the state.

RE: Bishop Park Master Plan Task Order 25-TO-09 Budget Amendment Request #1 Dear Dan,
Wood Rodgers is requesting a budget amendment to account for additional work required for concept parking designs for the LADWP lot on Main Street adjacent to the park, additional work to go through the large number of public outreach written comments, and additional work on the master plan. Below is an outline of the additional work:
 LADWP Parking Concepts: At the request of the City Administrator Wood Rodgers provided four different concepts and updated two of the concepts based on LADWP comments. In total this added 12 hours at a billing rate of $225 (Project LA) for a total increase of $2,700 for Task 3 – Concept Alternatives.  Community Engagement: At the request of the City, Wood Rodgers developed a third open Alternative concept with puzzle pieces representing potential park amenities the public could move around to create their own concept. The contract originally assumed to present two concept boards. At the conclusion of the public outreach process we received over 300 written comments, which added time to go through and summarize all the comments. In total the additional concept presented and public comment summaries added 10 hours @ $195 (Senior Graphics) for $1,950 and 8 hours @ $225 (Project LA) for $1,800 increasing Task 4 – Community Engagement by $3,750.
 Master Plan: Wood Rodgers addressed several rounds of comments on the Park Master Plan illustrative.

Following the recent City Council recommendations, Wood Rodgers will address another round of comments not originally anticipated. In total this will add 8 hours @ $195 (Senior Graphics) for $1,560, and 8 hours @ $225 (Project LA) for $1,800 increasing Task 5 – Master Plan by $3,360.

A recap of the requested amendment:

Lessor will have the right to make reasonable rules and regulations for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the Common Areas upon written notice to Lessee thereof along with any subsequent updates thereto, which shall be subject to Lessee’s reasonable, unconditioned, and timely consent.

5. Term.

Lessee will have the right to extend its tenancy beyond the Initial Term for three additional successive optional Extended Terms of 12 months each on the same terms, covenants, and conditions (except as to the number of remaining option terms) as are contained in this Lease (each, an "Extended Term").

Rent for any partial month will be prorated based on the actual number of days of the month. All Rent shall be payable by State of California warrants or any other warrant from any account utilized by Lessee. The payment of Rent is subject to appropriation of funds therefor by the State of California. An Event of Default (as defined below) shall not occur if Lessee is unable to pay any amount owed because of the State of California’s failure to timely approve and adopt a State budget appropriating said funds; provided, however, if Lessee fails to pay any Rent or other amounts owed as a result of the State of California’s failure to timely approve and adopt a State budget appropriating said funds, Lessee shall promptly pay any previously due and unpaid Rent or other amounts owed upon approval and adoption of such State budget.

7. Use. The Premises may be primarily used for the Court’s purposes including, but not limited to, general administrative offices, the conducting of Court operations (e.g., filings, hearings, trials, jury assembly/selection, etc.), and any ancillary or other legal uses which are reasonably comparable thereto. Notwithstanding Lessee having the right to access the Premises and Property at all times, Lessee’s normal operating hours at the Premises will be 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for Court holidays, as may be revised by the Court from time to time.

8. Delivery of Premises.

8.1 Base Building Systems. Lessor warrants that all systems and equipment including, but not limited to, all electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, fire suppression system, fire/life/safety system, elevators, security systems, lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (HVAC), loading doors, if any, that serve the Premises and the Building and all other such elements in the Building (collectively, the “Base Building Systems”), other than those installed or constructed by Lessee, shall be in safe, hazard free, good-operating condition, and that the structural elements of the roof, bearing walls, and foundation of the Building shall be free of material defect. The Property in its entirety shall be in similar condition when the Premises are so delivered.

8.2 Sick Building Syndrome. Lessor warrants and represents that the Premises and the Property shall be constructed, operated, and maintained to avoid elevated levels of 104

certain hazards including, but not limited to carbon dioxide, spores, fungus, molds, bacteria, chemicals or fumes, or other causes of any hazardous micro-environments, also known as Sick Building Syndrome, emanating from or within the Premise or the Property that may cause bodily injury, sickness, or death. Any cost incurred to cause the Premises or the Property to promptly eliminate or control such hazard shall be borne by Lessor.

8.3 Seismic Certification. Lessor agrees to provide in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, prior to the Commencement Date or as otherwise requested by Lessee, certification of the Building’s compliance with seismic code or other related regulations.

8.4 Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Lessee is prevented from using and does not use the Premises or any portion thereof, or if Lessee’s ability to conduct its operations from the Premises is materially impaired as a result of (i) any repair, alteration, or maintenance work performed by Lessor or which Lessor failed to timely perform and was required to be performed by Lessor under this Lease, or (ii) any failure to provide services to the Premises and such failure was not caused directly or indirectly by the negligence of Lessee (collectively, an “Abatement Event”), then Lessee shall give written notice of such Abatement Event to Lessor. If an Abatement Event occurs, then all Rent shall be abated or reduced for such time that Lessee continues to be so prevented from using and does not use the Premises, or Parking (to the extent the inability to use said parking areas prevents Lessee from being able to use the Premises), or any portion thereof. The amount of Rent abatement shall be in proportion to the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Lessee is prevented from using to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, that Rent shall be abated completely if the portion of the Premises or Parking that Lessee is prevented from using and does not use is so significant as to make it impractical for Lessee in Lessee’s discretion to conduct its business in the Premises and Lessee does not conduct its business in the Premises for that reason.

9. Utilities. Lessor will provide, or cause to be provided, and pay for all utility services, including, without limitation, water, natural gas, electrical, refuse collection, and sewer services, as may be required in the maintenance, operation, and use of the Premises and Building, but excluding telephone or telecommunications services. Lessee will contract directly and pay for all telephone and telecommunications services as may be required in Lessee’s use of the Premises.

10. Building & Custodial Services.

105
Court Facility No. 14-C1 5

10.1.1 Air conditioning and heat, all in such reasonable quantities as reasonably necessary for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, excepting local and national holidays;

10.2 Lessee’s Right to Provide Services and Deduct Cost. If Lessee provides notice to Lessor, which notice may be submitted via email only, of an event or circumstance that requires Lessor’s action with respect to either building or custodial services and Lessor fails to provide such action as required by this Lease within three (3) days of Lessee’s notice, Lessee may take whatever action is deemed reasonably necessary by Lessee provided that: (i) Lessee delivers to Lessor an written notice, which may be submitted via email only, advising Lessor that Lessee intends to take the required action if Lessor does not begin the required action within forty-eight (48) hours after the subsequent notice; and (ii) Lessor fails to begin the required work within said forty-eight (48) hour period. In the event that Lessee so performs any building or custodial services as provided herein, upon written demand by Lessee, Lessor shall promptly reimburse Lessee the reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Lessee therefor. Lessee may offset against the Rent payable or to be due under this Lease any sums not so reimbursed to Lessee within thirty (30) days after delivery to Lessor of a written demand for payment.

11. Repairs and Maintenance.

11.1 Lessor’s Repair and Maintenance Obligations. Lessor will, at Lessor’s sole expense and in accordance with the terms of this Lease, repair and maintain in good order and condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted):

11.1.1 All structural portions of the Building and Premises;

11.1.2 All nonstructural portions of the Building and Premises including, but not limited to, all improvements, alterations, and fixtures but excluding furnishings as of the Commencement Date;
106
Court Facility No. 14-C1 6

11.1.3 All systems and equipment including, but not limited to, Base Building Systems (as defined above); and

11.1.4 The exterior portions of the Property including, but not limited to, any landscaping, routine and emergency pest/rodent control, driveways, sidewalks, lighting, and parking facilities serving the Premises or the Property, as applicable.

11.2 Lessor’s Default. Repairs and maintenance shall be made promptly when and how appropriate to keep the Premises, Building, Property, and other items in good working order and usable condition and as otherwise described in this Lease. Lessor shall be in default of its repair and maintenance obligations if Lessor does not perform the applicable repairs and maintenance within thirty (30) days of notice to Lessor, which notice may be submitted via email only, of the need for such repairs and maintenance (“Repair and Maintenance Notice”). If more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required to complete the particular repair or maintenance obligation due to the nature of the circumstances, then Lessor shall not be in default if both: (i) within five (5) business days of receiving a Repair and Maintenance Notice, Lessor provides Lessee with a date that Lessor anticipates the repair or maintenance obligation will be complete; and (ii) Lessor commences the repair or maintenance obligation within thirty (30) days of receiving a Repair and Maintenance Notice and diligently prosecutes the applicable work to completion.

11.3 Lessee’s Right to Make Repairs. If Lessee provides a Repair and Maintenance Notice to Lessor and Lessor fails to properly take the required action in compliance with the terms of this Lease and within the applicable periods specified, then Lessee may elect, but shall not be obligated, to take whatever actions are deemed by Lessee to be necessary and appropriate to carry out the applicable repair or maintenance obligation on Lessor’s behalf. Lessor accordingly grants to Lessee a license to enter upon those portions of the Premises and Property reasonably necessary for Lessee to effectuate said repair or maintenance obligation and the terms of this section. If Lessee performs any such action required of Lessor by this Lease, then Lessee shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Lessor of Lessee’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred therein, which reimbursement obligation shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee so performs any maintenance or repairs as provided herein, upon written demand by Lessee, Lessor shall promptly reimburse Lessee the reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Lessee therefor. Lessee may offset against the Rent payable or to be due under this Lease any sums not so reimbursed to Lessee within thirty (30) days after delivery to Lessor of a written demand for payment. 107
Court Facility No. 14-C1 7

11.4 Emergency and Urgent Repairs.

11.4.1 An “Emergency Repair Situation” is defined as the existence of any condition that is an imminent or perceived threat to life, safety, health, property, documents, or security requiring immediate repair, replacement, or service to eliminate that imminent or perceived threat. An “Urgent Repair Situation” is defined as the existence of any condition that requires prompt repair, replacement, or service to enable the Court to conduct business in a neat, clean, safe, and functional environment. The determination of whether a repair is an Emergency/Urgent Repair Situation shall be based upon the impact of the situation upon the Court and shall be at the sole, but reasonable, discretion of Lessee.

11.4.2 If Lessee notifies Lessor of an Emergency/Urgent Repair Situation which occurs in or about the Property which is the responsibility of the Lessor to repair or maintain, then Lessor shall commence appropriate repairs or maintenance immediately with respect to an Emergency Repair Situation, and promptly with respect to an Urgent Repair Situation, after notice of the condition is given by Lessee, which notice may be via telephone, email, facsimile, personal contact, or any other means, and Lessor shall thereafter diligently pursue to completion said repairs or maintenance.

11.4.3 If, after receiving notice from Lessee, Lessor fails to commence and diligently pursue repairs within four (4) hours for an Emergency Repair Situation, and twenty-four (24) hours for an Urgent Repair Situation, or if Lessee is unable to contact Lessor or any designated agent within a reasonable time based upon the seriousness of the event or situation, Lessee may elect, but shall not be obligated to, cause said repairs to be made or such maintenance to be performed. Upon demand by Lessee, Lessor shall promptly reimburse Lessee, the action cost and expenses thereof. Should Lessor fail to reimburse the cost and expenses within thirty (30) days from receipt of Lessee’s written demand for reimbursement, Lessee may deduct and offset that amount from Rent payable or to be due under this Lease.

12. Alterations and Additions.

12.1 During the Initial Term and any Extended Terms, Lessee will not make or allow any alterations, installations, remodeling, additions, or improvements for Lessee’s account (“Alterations”) in or to the Premises or the Building without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, that such consent may be reasonably conditioned on Lessor’s receipt and approval of a set of plans and specifications for the requested Alterations prior to the commencement of construction. Lessor agrees to reasonably cooperate in good faith with Lessee to the greatest extent possible with respect to any Alterations to be performed at Lessee’s cost and Lessor will perform the Alterations on Lessee’s behalf whenever and to the extent that the Parties reach mutually-agreeable terms in writing therefor. 108
Court Facility No. 14-C1 8

12.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, without requiring any prior notice to or consent of Lessor, Lessee may make or install any non-structural Alterations within the Premises which do not adversely affect any of the Base Building Systems.

12.3 All Alterations made and installed by or on behalf of Lessee’s account shall remain Lessee’s property and may be removed by or prior to the expiration of this Lease; provided, however, that such removal does not cause injury or damage to the Premises. If Lessee decides, in Lessee’s sole discretion, not to remove any Alterations at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, said Alterations will become the property of Lessor and Lessee will have no further obligation or liability therefor.

12.4 For all Alterations performed by Lessor at the Property, Lessor shall comply and stay current with all applicable building codes and laws as amended from time to time including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lessor recognizes and understands that any improvements requested by Lessee during the term of this Lease may be subject to the provisions contained in the California Labor Code (commencing with section 1720) relating to, without limitation, general prevailing wage rates.

13. Signage. Lessee may, at Lessee’s sole expense, install identification signs (including its logo) in the Common Areas of the Property including the Building’s lobby, subject to Lessor’s prior written consent which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, that any such signs must keep with the quality, design, and style of the Building.

14. Compliance with Laws.

14.1 Lessor warrants and represents that the Premises, all improvements in the Premises, Building, and Property, and Lessor’s operation thereof, shall at all times comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, covenants or restrictions of record, building codes, regulations, ordinances, orders, local and national public health and emergency orders, and consent decrees, as may be updated from time to time, regardless of the use to which Lessee will put the Premises. If the Premises, Building, or Property do not comply with this warranty, Lessor will, promptly after receipt of written notice setting forth the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessor’s sole expense; provided, however, that Lessee’s failure to notify Lessor of any non-compliance shall not relieve Lessor from or waive any obligation that the Premises, Building, and Property comply with said warranty.

14.2 Lessor further warrants and represents that the Premises and the Property will be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities in compliance with the Disability Accessibility Laws (defined below) and any regulations issued thereunder as may be amended from time to time. “Disability Accessibility Laws” include, but are not limited to, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. section 12131 et seq.; 109

Lessor will, during the Initial Term and any Extended Terms of this Lease, make payment of all applicable real property taxes and general and special assessments levied against the Property and the Premises which it has the duty to pay within the time allowed by the taxing authorities in order to avoid penalty.

16. Hazardous Materials.

16.1 Lessee agrees that it will not use, generate, store, or dispose of any Hazardous Material (defined herein) on, under, about, or within the Premises in violation of any law or regulation. Lessor represents, warrants, and agrees that (i) neither Lessor nor, to Lessor’s knowledge, any third party has used, generated, stored, or disposed of, or permitted the use, generation, storage, or disposal of, any Hazardous Material on, under, about, or within the Property in violation of any law or regulation; and (ii) Lessor will not, and will not permit any third party to, use, generate, store or dispose of any Hazardous Material on, under, about, or within the Property in violation of any law or regulation. As used in this section, “Hazardous Material” will mean petroleum or any petroleum product, asbestos, any substance known by the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity, and/or any substance, chemical, or waste that is identified as hazardous, toxic, or dangerous in any applicable Federal, State or local law or regulation.

17. Indemnification.

17.1 Indemnification Obligation of Lessor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessor shall, at Lessor’s sole expense and with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessee, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Lessee Parties (defined below) from and against any and all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action, claims, or judgments including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs arising from (i) property damage and bodily injury to or death of persons in, on, or about the Premises, whether that bodily injury or death is sustained by a third party or by an officer, agent, or employee of Lessee or the Court, where and to the extent arising from the willful misconduct or negligent acts, errors, or omissions of Lessor, (ii) Lessor’s possession, operation, management, maintenance, and repair of, or responsibility for, the Building and Property on and after the Commencement Date, except to the extent arising from Lessee’s negligence or willful misconduct, and/or (iii) Lessor’s breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranty made under, or any breach or failure to comply with any term or covenant of, this Lease.
110
Court Facility No. 14-C1 10

17.2 Definition of Lessee Parties. “Lessee Parties” refers singularly and collectively to the State of California; the Judicial Council of California; the Superior Court of California, County of Inyo; and their respective officers, judicial officers, agents, employees, contractors, and representatives, in both individual and official capacities.

17.3 Survival of Indemnification. The defense and indemnification obligations hereunder will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until all claims involving any of the indemnified matters against the Lessee Parties are either concluded or fully, finally, and absolutely barred by the applicable statutes of limitations.

18. Insurance.

18.1 Lessor Insurance Coverage. Lessor agrees at all times during the Initial Term and any Extended Terms of this Lease to purchase, or provide via a program of selfinsurance reasonably acceptable to Lessee, and keep in force the following policies/coverages of insurance:

Court Facility No. 14-C1 11

18.2 Lessor Insurance General Requirements.

18.2.1 Any insurance company providing Lessor’s insurance coverage hereunder shall be admitted to the State of California and have an A.M. Best rating of not less than an A-: VII, unless such requirements are waived, in writing, by the Lessee’s Risk Manager. If the Lessee’s Risk Manager waives a requirement for a particular insurer such waiver is only valid for that specific insurer and then only for the current policy term

18.2.2 Each of the required insurance policies will name the State of California; Judicial Council of California; the Superior Court of California, County of Inyo; and their respective officers, agents, and employees as additional insureds.

18.2.3 The required insurance policies shall be primary and noncontributing with any insurance, self-insurance, or other risk management program maintained by Lessee or the Court; and Lessor and its respective insurers shall waive any right of subrogation or recovery they may have against Lessee and the Court.

18.2.4 Lessor agrees to provide Lessee with verification of insurance, on forms reasonably acceptable to Lessee, and Certificate(s) of Insurance to evidence that all required insurance is in full force and effect.

18.2.5 Lessor or Lessor’s insurance company(ies) must declare its insurance deductibles or self-insured retentions.

If (i) the Repair Period exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of physical work or one (1) year after the Casualty, or (ii) the estimated repair cost, even though covered by insurance, exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the full replacement cost, then Lessor may elect either to terminate this Lease or to repair and restore the damaged portion of the Building and shall indicate its election in the Repair Notice.

19.3 Lessee’s Option to Terminate. If the Repair Period exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of physical work or one (1) year after the Casualty, then Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease by providing written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days of receiving the Repair Notice. If Lessee does not elect to terminate within said thirty (30)-day period, then Lessee will be considered to have waived the option to terminate.

19.4 Rent Abatement Due to Casualty. Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessee’s Rent will be fully abated during the period beginning on the date of the Casualty and ending on the date of substantial completion of Lessor’s restoration obligations as provided in this section (“Abatement Period”). If, however, Lessee is able to occupy and does occupy a portion of the Premises, Rent will be abated during the Abatement Period only for the portion of the Premises not occupied by Lessee.

19.5 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, if a Casualty which renders all or any portion of the Premises unusable occurs during the last six (6) months of either the Initial Term or any Extended Terms, as applicable, Lessor and Lessee will each have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other Party within thirty (30) days after the date of the Casualty.

19.6 Effective Date of Termination; Rent Apportionment. If Lessor or Lessee elects to terminate this Lease in connection with a Casualty, the termination will be effective thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of such election. Lessee will pay Rent, properly apportioned up to the date of the Casualty. After the effective date of the 113
Court Facility No. 14-C1 13
termination, Lessor and Lessee will be discharged of all future obligations under this Lease, except for those provisions that by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

19.7 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease including those in this section constitute an express agreement between Lessor and Lessee that applies in the event of any Casualty to the Property, and the Parties fully waive the provisions of any statute or regulation for any rights or obligations concerning a Casualty including California Civil Code sections 1932(2) and 1933(4).

20. Eminent Domain. If all or any portion of the Premises are condemned or are transferred in lieu of condemnation, then Lessor or Lessee may, upon written notice given within sixty (60) days after the taking or transfer, terminate this Lease. Lessor shall be entitled to all compensation that may be paid in connection with the taking except for any portion specifically awarded to Lessee for, without limitation, moving expenses, fixtures, or equipment.

21. Breach, Default, and Remedies.

21.1 Lessee Breach and Default. Either of the following breaches will constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) by Lessee under this Lease after the expiration of the applicable grace or cure period:

21.1.1 Except as otherwise provided for in this Lease, Lessee’s failure to pay any amount in full when it is due under the Lease by or before forty-five (45) days following written notice from Lessor to Lessee therefor, which cure period the Parties acknowledge is the required minimum for the State of California to process irregular and/or specially-requested payments to any person or entity; notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee agrees to take all reasonable efforts to process and issue any outstanding payment as expeditiously as possible.

21.1.2 Lessee’s failure to observe or perform any other provision of this Lease, or the breach of any of Lessee’s representations or warranties hereunder, if such failure or breach continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor of the failure or breach specifying in reasonably sufficient detail the nature of the failure or breach; provided, however, if the default is such that it is capable of being cured, but cannot be completely cured within the thirty (30) day period, then Lessee will not have defaulted if Lessee begins to cure within the thirty (30) day period and diligently performs the cure to completion.

21.2 Lessor’s Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, will have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee thirty (30) days’ prior written 114
Court Facility No. 14-C1 14
notice thereof to Lessee, in which case Lessor may recover from Lessee the aggregate sum of:

21.2.1 The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; and

21.2.2 The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; and

21.2.3 Any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

Lessor shall not under any circumstance have the right to accelerate any Rent that falls due in future rental periods or otherwise declare any Rent not then in default to be immediately due and payable.

21.3 Lessor’s Default. An Event of Default by Lessor under this Lease will be deemed to have occurred in the event that Lessor fails to observe or perform any provision of this Lease, or breaches any of Lessor’s representations or warranties hereunder, if such failure or breach continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessee of the failure or breach specifying in reasonably sufficient detail the nature of the failure or breach; provided, however, if the default is such that it is capable of being cured, but cannot be completely cured within the thirty (30) day period, then Lessor will not have defaulted if Lessor begins to cure within the thirty (30) day period and diligently performs the cure to completion.

21.4 Lessee’s Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessor, Lessee, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lessee at law or in equity, will have the right either to cure any default by Lessor following the above-described thirty (30)-day notice and cure period and to deduct the cost of such cure from any Rent due hereunder upon presentation of an accounting of such costs to Lessor, or to elect to terminate this Lease immediately upon written notice to Lessor thereof.

22. Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor represents and warrants that Lessor has legal right to possession of the Premises and the power and the right to enter into this Lease and that Lessee, upon the faithful performance of all of the terms, conditions, and obligations of Lessee contained in this Lease, will peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises upon the terms, covenants, and conditions set forth in this Lease throughout the Initial Term and any Extended Terms of this Lease.
115
Court Facility No. 14-C1 15

23. Surrender. Lessee will, after the last day of the Initial Term or any Extended Term of this Lease, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, surrender and yield up to Lessor the Premises in good order and “broom-clean” condition (i.e., the Court will empty the space of all removable items including unaffixed furniture, books, files, etc., dispose of all garbage, and sweep or vacuum), reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. In surrendering the Premises to Lessor, Lessee may, but is not liable for or obligated to: (i) remove any Alterations constructed or installed within the Premises for Lessee’s account; (ii) remove any furniture, fixtures, and equipment affixed to the Premises by Lessee prior to or during the Initial Term or any Extended Terms of this Lease; and (iii) implement repairs to the Premises caused in any of Lessee’s removal of same.

24. Holding Over. Any holding over by Lessee after the Initial Term or any Extended Terms of this Lease will be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease.

25. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Lease must be in writing and may be: (i) personally delivered; (ii) mailed by depositing such notice in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid; or (iii) sent by reputable overnight delivery service, addressed to following address(es) or to such other place(s) as each Party hereto may designate by subsequent written notice to the other Party; provided, however, that Lessor waives any defense of improper notice if Lessor fails to properly notify Lessee of any updates or changes to its contact information (including for the receipt of payment):

Department: Administration
To: City Council
From: Pam Foster
Subject: Compliance with Assembly Bill 2561/Government Code Section 3502.3 regarding Vacancies, Recruitment and Retention Efforts Prepared On: June 1, 2026

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:

AB 2561 was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which adversely affects the delivery of public services and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies conduct a public hearing to present the status of vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts during a public hearing before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year prior to the adoption of the next fiscal year’s budget and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process. The bill was enacted into law and is codified as Government Code section 3502.3, effective January 1, 2025.

Analysis/Discussion:

In compliance with the new legal obligations, the City is required to do the following:

1. Public Hearing – Report on Vacancies: For the calendar year 2025, the City’s annual average percentage of vacancies (i.e., regular, full-time equivalent) is 5.13%.

2. Employee Organization Participation: Allow the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. The City notified the four (4) represented bargaining units at the City and unrepresented employees of the opportunity to present. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(b).)

3. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates : If vacancies within a single bargaining unit 123
meet or exceed 20% of authorized full-time positions in that bargaining unit, upon request of the recognized employee organization for that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the following: (1) the total number of vacancies within the bargaining unit; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average number of days to fill positions; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(c).) For the calendar year 2025, within the City’s bargaining units with recognized employee organizations, they were all under the 20% vacancy rate, which is summarized below:

Bargaining Unit Approved
Positions
Percentage
Bishop Employee's Association 14 7.69%
Bishop Police Officers Association 16 0%
Bishop Mid-Management Association 7 16.67%
Bishop Management Association 4 0%

City Administrator’s Letter
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
To the Residents of the City of Bishop,
The City is pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget. This financial plan reflects the City Council's commitment to reliable public services, infrastructure investment, long-term sustainability, and community priorities.

The Strategic Plan provides the framework for this document. It guides decision-making, resource allocation, and service delivery through five focus areas: Downtown Area Investment and Support, Economic and Housing Development, Infrastructure Maintenance, Improvement and Replacement, City Services and Functionality, and Public Safety.

The adopted budget advances those focus areas by balancing essential operations with targeted investments in Bishop's future. Downtown and economic development efforts emphasize walkability, public spaces, active transportation, housing opportunities, regional partnerships, and planning work that strengthens long-term resilience.

Infrastructure continues to receive significant attention through funding for streets, sidewalks, water, sewer, facilities, and other critical systems that affect residents, businesses, and visitors. These investments help address aging assets, regulatory requirements, capital replacement needs, and long-term system reliability.

Public safety and service functionality are central to the City's work. The budget provides resources for staffing, training, equipment, planning, emergency response, internal process improvements, transparent financial planning, interdepartmental coordination, and the continued pursuit of outside funding when available.

This budget takes a practical, forward-looking approach to local government. It recognizes the need to maintain current services, invest in infrastructure and the workforce, advance community goals, and preserve financial flexibility for future years. Through this work, Bishop continues moving toward the Strategic Plan's vision of a welcoming, resilient, and wellmanaged community.

Thank you to the City Council for its policy direction, to City staff for their continued service, and to the residents, businesses, and community partners who help shape Bishop's future.

Sincerely,
Pam Foster

City Administrator
City of Bishop, California

Budgetary Process
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
The Budget: A Financial Policy, Management, and Planning Tool The budget is the City’s service, project, and financial plan for the upcoming fiscal year. It matches the services, programs, and projects desired by the community and the City Council with the resources available to provide them. The budget represents public policy by organizing funding, staffing, equipment, materials, and other resources to carry out the City’s priorities.

The effective period of the budget is one fiscal year, July 1 through June 30. Certain services and activities are required by law, and certain revenues are restricted for specific purposes.

The City of Bishop’s budget is organized by fund. A fund is a collection of accounts used to record resources and related requirements for a specific activity, objective, restriction, or function.

The budget is one of the City’s primary management tools. It defines the scope of services to be provided during the year, supports accountability for public resources, and provides a financial framework for staff, public officials, and the community.

City Administrator’s Budgeting Guidelines for Department Heads First: Develop a plan that is fiscally responsible, maintains basic City services, and does not compromise public safety.

Second: Provide full disclosure of financial information and present the City’s financial condition as accurately and clearly as possible to the organization and the community.

Third: Discuss expenditure requests openly and honestly. As an organization, and as individual managers, staff are responsible for explaining the need for requested expenditures.

Fourth: Develop and manage the budget in a manner that strengthens the financial stability and long-term health of the organization.

Budget Assumptions and Direction
The following assumptions and direction were used in developing the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget:
✓ Revenues are budgeted realistically based on historical trends, known economic conditions, outside agency information, and the best information available during budget preparation.
✓ Expenses generally reflect a continuation of current service levels with targeted enhancements where aligned with City Council direction, community priorities, and available resources.
✓ A 3.1% COLA salary/wage increase is included, effective July 1, 2026. ✓ Utility rate changes are incorporated where applicable to support ongoing operations, capital needs, and long-term utility system sustainability. 131
6 | P a g e
✓ Public safety staffing and operational needs are incorporated to support police, fire, emergency response, training, and related service requirements. ✓ Major infrastructure projects and grant-funded capital projects are included where funding, project readiness, and Council priorities support advancement during the fiscal year.
✓ Interfund loans or cash advances may be used where appropriate to support timing needs for major capital projects, grant reimbursements, or other approved financing strategies.
✓ Pension and OPEB contribution assumptions are updated to reflect current funding priorities, available resources, and long-term obligations. ✓ Capital expenditures were developed through a combination of City Council strategic planning priorities, the capital planning process, department requests, staff review, and Council budget review.

Budgetary Basis
The budget is prepared on a line-item basis by fund and department. Budget development considers historical activity, current service levels, known obligations, outside agency and consultant information, department requests, management review, Council priorities, and available resources.

All revenue and expenditure accounts are reviewed during budget preparation. The budget provides spending authority and establishes the financial plan for the fiscal year, while recognizing that mid-year adjustments may be necessary when conditions, project timing, grant activity, or Council direction change.

Accounting Basis
The City’s accounting system is organized and operated on a fund basis. Funds are established to carry out specific activities or objectives in accordance with applicable regulations, restrictions, or limitations.

Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period. Expenditures, except for unmatured interest on longterm debt, are generally recognized in the accounting period in which the related liability is incurred.

Revenues earned in the prior fiscal year are considered measurable and available when received by the City within 60 days following year-end. Enterprise and internal service funds are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, under which revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. 132

Fund Balance Overview
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
Estimated Beginning Fund Balances
Fund balance is a key measure of the City's available financial position at a point in time. In governmental funds, fund balance represents the difference between assets and liabilities, adjusted for applicable restrictions, commitments, assignments, and other classifications. For enterprise activities, such as water, sewer, and Sunrise Mobile Home Park, the comparable financial measure is net position.

This section presents estimated beginning balances for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The estimates begin with the City's June 30, 2025 Balance - Current Date / Total Fund Equity amounts, then add or subtract estimated Fiscal Year 2025-2026 net activity. The result is the projected starting balance for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

The amounts below are intended to provide a budgetary planning view of available resources by fund. Final balances may change as year-end closing entries, receivables, payables, transfers, interfund loan activity, and audit adjustments are completed. Funds that belong to separate entities, custodial-type funds, and donation-type funds are excluded from this table.

Notes on cash balances: Fund balance and cash balance are related but not identical.

Fund balance reflects the difference between assets and liabilities within a fund, while cash balance reflects liquid resources available at a point in time. The City monitors cash balances separately to ensure adequate liquidity for operations, capital projects, restricted programs, interfund activity, and reserve policy compliance.

Notes on Estimated Projection Table: Balances are budgetary estimates for planning purposes. Amounts may not equal unrestricted reserves or available cash. Certain fund resources are restricted, committed, assigned, or otherwise limited by law, policy, grant requirements, project purpose, or funding source. Estimated FY 2026-2027 beginning balances reflect a planned interfund loan of $1,429,395 from the General Fund to the Water Fund for the West Line Street Water Main Project. Because the Water Fund is expected to spend the loan proceeds on the project before fiscal year-end, the loan reduces the General Fund's estimated beginning balance but does not increase the Water Fund's estimated beginning cash/fund balance.

Excluded funds include separate entities, custodial-type funds, and donation-type funds not presented as part of the main City budget fund balance projection.

Use of Fund Balance Information
The fund balance projection is intended to help readers understand the resources expected to be available at the start of the fiscal year. It does not, by itself, authorize spending. Budget authority is established through the adopted budget, budget adjustments, and other actions approved in accordance with City policy and applicable law.

A positive beginning balance may represent unrestricted resources, restricted revenues, grant proceeds, accumulated capital resources, or other amounts that must be used for a specific purpose. A zero-beginning balance does not necessarily mean a fund is inactive; some project funds may begin the year with no balance but receive transfers, reimbursements, or grant proceeds during the fiscal year.

General Fund Budget Overview
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund and supports most core municipal services, including administration, public safety, community services, parks and recreation, planning, public works activities, and other general governmental functions. The FY 2026-2027 General Fund budget is balanced after planned transfer support, while also using prior accumulated resources for one-time capital investment and other nonrecurring needs.

The budget reflects an operating deficit before transfers and a projected operating surplus after planned transfer support. Total fund balance is projected to decline during the fiscal year because the budget includes significant one-time capital outlay and temporary cash-flow activity.

Even with this planned use of resources, the General Fund is projected to remain above the City's required reserve level.

General Fund Activity
The table below summarizes projected General Fund activity for FY 2026-2027. Total inflows include revenues and transfer support. Total outflows include expenditures and transfers out.

Activity Description Amount
Estimated FY 2026-2027 Starting General Fund Balance $12,447,663.46 Add: Total Budgeted Inflows $13,090,488.00
Less: Total Budgeted Outflows ($14,823,166.52)
Projected Ending General Fund Balance $10,714,984.94
Less: Required Reserve (25% of General Fund Revenue) ($3,022,622.00) Available Ending Balance After Reserve $7,692,362.94
Note: The required reserve is calculated as 25% of General Fund budgeted revenue. For FY 2026-2027, General Fund revenue is $12,090,488, which excludes $1,000,000 of transfer support included in total budgeted inflows.

Operating Budget Summary
The operating budget separates ongoing General Fund revenues and expenditures from grant activity, capital outlay, and transfers. This presentation helps distinguish the City's recurring operating position from one-time or financing-related items.

Component Description Amount
Total General Fund Revenue $12,090,488.00
Less: Grant Revenue ($162,200.00)
Net Operating Revenue $11,928,288.00
Total General Fund Expenditure $14,450,373.52
Less: Grant Expenditure ($162,200.00)
Less: Capital Outlay ($1,896,700.00)
Net Operating Expenditure $12,391,473.52
Projected Net Operating Deficit Before Transfers ($463,185.52) Add: Operating Transfers In $1,000,000.00
Less: Operating Transfers Out ($372,793.00)
Projected Net Operating Surplus After Transfers $164,021.48 Note: Although the Measure A Fund is reported separately from the General Fund, the fund accounts for the City's portion of a countywide tax that may be used for general operations and capital additions. The FY 2026-2027 budget includes a planned transfer from the Measure A Fund to the General Fund as part of the City's overall financing strategy. This treatment preserves separate fund accounting while recognizing that Measure A resources may support eligible City operating and capital needs.
139
14 | P a g e
Capital Outlay
The FY 2026-2027 General Fund budget includes $1,896,700 of capital outlay. These projects represent one-time or project-based investments in facilities, equipment, public safety, parks, and community infrastructure. The most significant outlay is $1,350,000 for City Park Field 6 construction and a full detail of budgeted capital outlay is included in the General Fund Expenditure Overview for reference.

Note: No grant funding is budgeted for the General Fund capital outlay referenced above. The City Park Field 6 construction budget includes use of a $250,000 Inyo County contribution.

Transfers Out
Transfers out are used to move resources from the General Fund to other City funds for capital projects, reserve contributions, or other approved purposes. The FY 2026-2027 General Fund budget includes $372,793 in transfers out.

15 | P a g e
Short-Term Cash Flow Considerations
The FY 2026-2027 budget also includes short-term General Fund cash flow considerations related to major capital projects. The City may temporarily use General Fund cash to support project timing for the ladder truck purchase and the South Warren Street Improvement Project before receipt of federal earmark proceeds, partner contributions, or reimbursements.

These timing items are expected to have a short-term cash impact of less than one fiscal year and are not intended to represent permanent General Fund support beyond the City's approved contribution or authorized cash-flow support. Staff will monitor cash flow throughout the year to ensure adequate liquidity for operations, capital activity, interfund activity, and reserve policy compliance.

Summary
The FY 2026-2027 General Fund budget maintains core operations, incorporates planned transfer support, funds significant one-time capital and operating needs, and retains projected reserves above the City's required reserve level. The budget reflects the planned use of accumulated resources for priority investments while preserving the City's ability to meet ongoing service and liquidity needs.

General Fund Revenue Overview
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
Revenue projections establish the foundation for the City's General Fund budget. General Fund revenues support most core municipal services, including administration, public safety, community services, parks and recreation, planning, public works activities, and other general governmental functions.

For FY 2026-2027, total General Fund inflows are budgeted at $13,090,488. This amount includes General Fund revenues and planned transfer support. General Fund revenue, excluding transfer support, is budgeted at $12,090,488.

Revenue Outlook
The FY 2026-2027 General Fund revenue outlook remains strong, but dependent on economically sensitive revenues. Sales tax and transient occupancy tax are the two largest General Fund revenue sources and together represent a substantial share of total inflows.

Because these revenues are affected by consumer activity, tourism, lodging demand, and broader economic conditions, the City continues to budget conservatively and monitor receipts throughout the fiscal year.

Key Revenue Components
The table below summarizes the major General Fund revenue components included in the FY 2026-2027 Adopted Budget.

Revenue Component Amount % of Total
Sales Tax $5,190,000 39.65%
Transient Occupancy Tax $3,650,000 27.88%
Property Taxes and VLF $1,256,900 9.60%
Interfund Transfers In $1,000,000 7.64%
Interest Earnings $530,000 4.05%
Fees, Charges, and Programs $275,480 2.10%
Water Agreement $256,608 1.96%
Licenses and Permits $245,800 1.88%
Grants/Public Safety Reimbursements $237,200 1.81%
Franchise and Development Fees $186,400 1.42%
Service Reimbursements $138,000 1.05%

Major Revenue Sources
The following revenue summaries describe the City's primary General Fund revenue sources and the assumptions reflected in the FY 2026-2027 Adopted Budget.

Sales Tax
Sales tax is the General Fund's largest revenue source and is budgeted at $5,190,000, including the City's general sales tax allocation and the public safety sales tax component.

Sales tax performance remains a key indicator of local economic activity and consumer spending. Because this revenue source is sensitive to economic conditions, the City continues to budget sales tax conservatively while monitoring actual receipts throughout the year.

Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient occupancy tax is budgeted at $3,650,000 and remains the General Fund's secondlargest revenue source. This revenue is closely tied to tourism, lodging activity, and broader economic conditions affecting visitor travel. The City will continue monitoring TOT receipts throughout the year because changes in visitation or lodging performance can materially affect General Fund revenues.

Property Taxes and VLF
Property taxes and vehicle license fee-related revenues are budgeted at $1,256,900. These revenues provide a stable portion of the General Fund revenue base and are less volatile than sales tax and transient occupancy tax. Estimates are based on current assessed valuation trends, historical receipts, and available County and State information.

Measure A Transfer Support
Although the Measure A Fund is reported separately from the General Fund, the fund accounts for the City's portion of a countywide tax that may be used for general operations and capital additions. The FY 2026-2027 budget includes a planned $1,000,000 transfer from the Measure A Fund to the General Fund as part of the City's overall financing strategy. This treatment preserves separate fund accounting while recognizing that Measure A resources may support eligible City operating and capital needs.

Interest Earnings
Interest earnings are budgeted at $530,000 and reflect expected returns from the City's cash and investment balances, including anticipated interest associated with the interfund loan to the Water Fund. Interest income remains an important General Fund revenue source, but actual results may vary based on cash flow timing, investment balances, loan timing, and market interest rates. All City investments are managed in accordance with applicable law and City policy.
143
18 | P a g e
Grants and Public Safety Reimbursements
Grants and public safety reimbursements are budgeted at $237,200. These revenues include public safety-related reimbursements, mandated cost reimbursements, and other grant or reimbursement revenues expected during the fiscal year. Because these revenues are generally tied to specific programs, activities, or reimbursement eligibility, they are monitored separately from the City's core recurring revenue sources.

Other General Fund Revenues
Other General Fund revenues include fees and charges, licenses and permits, franchise and development fees, the DWP water agreement payment, rental and facility use revenues, service reimbursements, and miscellaneous revenues. These sources are smaller individually but collectively provide important support for General Fund operations and reduce reliance on any single revenue source.

Summary
The FY 2026-2027 General Fund revenue budget reflects a strong revenue base supported primarily by sales tax, transient occupancy tax, property-related revenues, interest earnings, and planned Measure A transfer support. The City will continue to monitor economically sensitive revenues and adjust financial planning as needed to preserve service levels, support capital priorities, and maintain long-term financial stability. 144

General Fund Expenditure Overview
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
General Fund expenditures support the City's core municipal services, including administration, public safety, community services, parks and recreation, planning, public works activities, and other general governmental functions. This section summarizes how General Fund resources are allocated across operating costs, capital outlay, grant activity, and transfers out.

General Fund expenditure reflects continued funding for core municipal services, significant capital investment, public safety operations, community services, infrastructure maintenance, and planned transfers for capital reserve and project support. The budget includes several one-time operational items and capital items, which should be distinguished from recurring service-level costs.

Expenditure Summary
Expenditure Type Amount Share of Total
Operating Expenditure $12,391,473.52 83.60%
Capital Outlay $1,896,700.00 12.80%

Public Safety
Public safety represents the largest General Fund service area and includes Police Department and Fire Department operations, personnel, equipment, training, emergency response, and facility-related needs. The FY 2026-2027 budget includes continued support for day-to-day public safety operations, replacement patrol-rated vehicles, initial phases of the Public Safety Campus Improvement Project, and Fire Department facility improvements. Fire Department costs shown in the General Fund reflect the City's share of department funding; the Bishop Rural Fire Protection District funds the other half of Fire Department operations through a separate budget.

Community Services and Parks & Recreation
Community Services and Parks & Recreation expenditures support parks, recreation programming, pool operations, youth activities, facility use, and community quality-of-life services. The FY 2026- 2027 budget includes significant capital investment in City Park Field 6 construction, park equipment, and City Park Pool infrastructure, along with continued funding for recreation programming and public facilities.

Capital Outlay
Capital outlay totals $1,896,700 and reflects one-time or project-based investments in facilities, equipment, public safety, parks, and community infrastructure. The largest capital item is City Park Field 6 construction, which is budgeted at $1,350,000 and includes use of a $250,000 Inyo County contribution.

Sewer Fund Budget Overview
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
The Sewer Fund is an enterprise fund used to manage the costs associated with providing sewer services to residents and businesses within the City. The fund is managed separately from the General Fund to ensure transparency and accountability for sewer-related revenues, expenses, project activity, and capital needs. Sewer service revenues are dedicated to sewer system purposes and are not used for unrelated governmental operations.

The FY 2026-2027 Sewer Fund budget reflects ongoing sewer operations as well as substantial project activity, including disaster-funded CIPP work, BAWA planning reimbursement activity, and capital-related contributions. Total budgeted inflows are $6,767,700 and total budgeted outflows are $7,275,664.26, resulting in a projected ending fund balance of $3,208,569.39. The projected decrease in fund balance is primarily related to the timing of capital, project, and regional wastewater authority activity rather than recurring operating activity.

Sewer Fund Activity
The table below summarizes projected Sewer Fund activity for FY 2026-2027. Total inflows include sewer service collections, interest earnings, and intergovernmental reimbursement revenues. Total outflows include operating expenditures, project costs, capital outlay, and capital-related contributions.

Activity Description Amount
Estimated FY 2026-2027 Starting Sewer Fund Balance $3,716,533.65 Add: Total Budgeted Inflows $6,767,700.00
Less: Total Budgeted Outflows ($7,275,664.26)
Projected Ending Sewer Fund Balance $3,208,569.39

Operating Budget Summary
The operating budget separates recurring Sewer Fund revenues and expenditures from capital, project, reimbursement-related, and non-operating activity. This presentation provides a clearer view of the Sewer Fund's recurring operating position.

Component Description Amount
Total Sewer Fund Revenue $6,767,700.00
Less: Grant / Intergovernmental Revenue ($5,049,000.00) Net Operating Revenue $1,718,700.00
Total Sewer Fund Expenditure $7,275,664.26
Less: Capital / Project / Non-Operating Costs ($5,896,300.00) Net Operating Expenditure $1,379,364.26
Projected Operating Surplus $339,335.74
The Sewer Fund operating budget reflects a projected operating surplus of approximately $339,336 before capital, project, and non-operating activity. Operating expenditures include routine sewer system operations, personnel costs, utilities, professional services, maintenance, City cost plan charges, depreciation, and the operating portion of the City's BAWA contribution.

The FY 2026-2027 operating budget also includes a one-time expenditure increase of approximately $45,000 for sludge pump VFD replacements.

Revenue Summary
Sewer Fund revenues are primarily supported by sewer service charges, interest earnings, and intergovernmental reimbursement revenues. FY 2026-2027 sewer service collections are budgeted at $1,581,700. Intergovernmental revenue is budgeted at $5,049,000 and primarily reflects anticipated reimbursement revenues for major Sewer Fund project activity, including approximately $900,000 for BAWA planning reimbursement and approximately $4,150,000 for USDA CIPP disaster funds reimbursement.

Major Capital, Project, and Non-Operating Activity
Major capital, project, and non-operating activity totals $5,896,300. These items are separated from operating expenditure to clarify the recurring operating position of the Sewer Fund.

Item Amount
USDA CIPP disaster funds reimbursement-related work $4,149,000.00 BAWA planning reimbursement activity $900,000.00
Hammond 4-inch work $250,000.00
Johnston Drive Lift Station building $200,000.00
Sewer Fund contribution to dump truck replacement $55,000.00 BAWA land acquisition contribution $342,300.00
Total Capital, Project, and Non-Operating Activity $5,896,300.00 Note: The BAWA land acquisition contribution is capital-related in purpose, but the underlying asset is expected to be acquired by BAWA rather than the City. Accordingly, it is presented as a Sewer Fund contribution to the regional wastewater authority rather than as a City-owned capital outlay.

BAWA Contribution
The FY 2026-2027 Sewer Fund budget includes a $385,500 contribution to the Bishop Area Wastewater Authority pursuant to the governing JPA. Of this amount, approximately $43,200 is treated as operating support and approximately $342,300 is expected to support BAWA land acquisition. The City will continue to monitor the final BAWA budget and related accounting treatment as project details are finalized.

Summary
The FY 2026-2027 Sewer Fund budget maintains funding for ongoing sewer operations while advancing significant projects and regional wastewater planning activity. Although total outflows exceed inflows for the fiscal year, the operating budget remains positive after separating capital, project, reimbursement-related, and BAWA land acquisition activity from recurring operations.

Staff will continue monitoring project timing, reimbursement receipts, BAWA activity, and Sewer Fund cash flow throughout the fiscal year.

Gas Tax Fund Budget Overview
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
The Gas Tax Fund is a restricted special revenue fund used to account for intergovernmental transportation revenues that must be used for eligible street, road, and transportation-related purposes. The fund is managed separately from the General Fund to ensure transparency and accountability for restricted transportation revenues and related expenditure.

The FY 2026-2027 Gas Tax Fund budget reflects ongoing eligible street maintenance activity and a capital outlay contribution toward replacement of the City's street sweeper. Total budgeted inflows are $209,900 and total budgeted outflows are $310,564.10, resulting in a projected ending fund balance of $433,826.57. The projected decrease in fund balance is primarily related to the planned street sweeper replacement contribution rather than recurring operating activity.

Gas Tax Fund Activity
The table below summarizes projected Gas Tax Fund activity for FY 2026-2027. Total inflows include restricted State transportation revenues. Total outflows include operating expenditures and capital outlay for the street sweeper replacement contribution.

Activity Description Amount
Estimated FY 2026-2027 Starting Gas Tax Fund Balance $534,490.67 Add: Total Budgeted Inflows $209,900.00
Less: Total Budgeted Outflows ($310,564.10)
Projected Ending Gas Tax Fund Balance $433,826.57
Operating Budget Summary
The operating budget separates recurring Gas Tax Fund revenues and expenditures from capital outlay. This presentation provides a clearer view of the fund's recurring operating position.

Component Description Amount
Total Gas Tax Fund Revenue $209,900.00
Net Operating Revenue $209,900.00
Total Gas Tax Fund Outflows $310,564.10
Less: Capital Outlay ($150,000.00)
Net Operating Expenditure $160,564.10
Projected Operating Surplus $49,335.90
The Gas Tax Fund operating budget reflects a projected operating surplus of approximately $49,335.90 before capital outlay. Operating expenditures total $160,564.10 and primarily support personnel, benefit costs, and eligible street maintenance-related costs. 179
54 | P a g e
Revenue Summary
Gas Tax Fund revenues are budgeted at $209,900 and include State transportation revenues such as Sections 2105, 2106, 2107, 2107.5, Miscellaneous/Prop 42, and SB 1 funding. These revenues are restricted for eligible street, road, and transportation-related purposes and are accounted for separately from the General Fund.

Major Capital Activity
Capital outlay totals $150,000 and reflects the Gas Tax Fund's 50% contribution toward replacement of the City's street sweeper. This contribution is separated from operating expenditures to clarify the recurring operating position of the fund.

Item Amount
50% contribution toward street sweeper replacement $150,000.00 Total Capital Outlay $150,000.00
Summary
The FY 2026-2027 Gas Tax Fund budget maintains funding for eligible transportation-related operations while contributing to replacement of the City's street sweeper. Although total outflows exceed inflows for the fiscal year, the fund's operating activity remains positive after separating the capital outlay contribution from recurring operations. Staff will continue monitoring restricted transportation revenues, eligible expenditures, capital needs, and fund balance throughout the fiscal year.

Water Fund Budget Overview
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget
The Water Fund is an enterprise fund used to manage the costs associated with providing water services to residents and businesses within the City. The fund is managed separately from the General Fund to ensure transparency and accountability for water-related revenues, expenses, project activity, and capital needs. Water service revenues are dedicated to water system purposes and are not used for unrelated governmental operations.

The FY 2026-2027 Water Fund budget maintains ongoing water system operations while advancing targeted capital improvements for system reliability, production capacity, storage, controls, and distribution infrastructure. Total budgeted inflows are $1,624,000 and total budgeted outflows are $2,289,379.75, resulting in a projected ending fund balance of $2,532,148.74. The budget reflects implementation of newly approved water rates following the City's rate study.

Water Fund Activity
The table below summarizes projected Water Fund activity for FY 2026-2027. Total inflows include water service collections, interest earnings, penalties, and miscellaneous water-related revenues. Total outflows include operating expenditures, capital outlay, and interfund loan interest expense.

Operating Budget Summary
The operating budget separates recurring Water Fund revenue and non-capital expenditure from capital outlay. This presentation provides a clearer view of the Water Fund's recurring operating position before capital investment.

Component Description Amount
Total Water Fund Revenue $1,624,000.00
Net Operating Revenue $1,624,000.00
Total Water Fund Expenditure $2,289,379.75
Less: Capital Outlay ($1,007,000.00)
Net Operating Expenditure $1,282,379.75
Projected Operating Surplus $341,620.25
The Water Fund reflects a projected surplus before capital outlay of $341,620.25. Non-capital expenditures include routine water system operations, personnel costs, utilities, professional services, maintenance, City cost plan charges, depreciation, and $48,242.08 of interest expense associated with the General Fund interfund loan for the West Line Street Water Main Project.

Revenue Summary
Water Fund revenues are budgeted at $1,624,000 and are primarily supported by water service collections. FY 2026-2027 water service collections are budgeted at $1,557,000, with additional revenue from interest earnings, penalties, and miscellaneous water-related revenues. The budget reflects implementation of newly approved water rates following the City's rate study, which are intended to better align recurring Water Fund revenues with operating, maintenance, infrastructure, and capital needs. 184

Major Capital Outlay
Capital outlay totals $1,007,000 and supports water system infrastructure, equipment, and reliability needs.

Capital Outlay Item Amount
Dump truck replacement contribution $55,000.00
Initial phases of a new production well $225,000.00
Storage and control tank rehabilitations $100,000.00
Well 2 and Well 4 pump rebuilds, inspections, and rehabilitation $230,000.00 Well 2 and Well 4 motor replacements and rebuilds $120,000.00 Well 4 electrical panel replacement $70,000.00
East Line - Main to Hanby $207,000.00
Total Capital Outlay $1,007,000.00
Interfund Loan Payable
The FY 2026-2027 Water Fund budget includes $48,242.08 interest expense associated with the General Fund interfund loan for the West Line Street Water Main Project. Scheduled principal repayment is not included as a budgeted expenditure because repayment of loan principal is treated as a balance sheet transaction rather than an operating or capital expenditure. While principal repayment does not affect the Water Fund's budgeted expenditure total or net position, it will affect Water Fund cash flow and reduce the outstanding interfund loan payable.

Summary
The FY 2026-2027 Water Fund budget maintains funding for ongoing water system operations while advancing targeted capital improvements for system reliability, production capacity, storage, controls, and distribution infrastructure. Before capital outlay, the Water Fund reflects a projected surplus of $341,620.25. Staff will continue monitoring capital project timing, rate revenue performance, interfund loan cash flow, and long-term Water Fund infrastructure needs throughout the fiscal year.

FY 2026-27 Work Plan
The department's FY 2026-27 work plan is organized around service reliability, affordability, policy consistency, and continued progress on the City's adopted strategic priorities. The goal is to make City operations easier to administer, easier for the public to understand, and better aligned across departments.

Priority Area FY 2026-27 Focus Expected Result
Public affordability Implement and administer the lowincome utility rate assistance program.

Provide a structured affordability
tool while maintaining transparent
program administration.

Policy consistency Advance an open public manual,
policy updates, and departmentwide procedural consistency.

Improve clarity, repeatability, and
public understanding of City
operations.

Service evaluation Review code enforcement strategy,
service options, and ongoing
community-facing processes.

Support practical, consistent service
delivery within available resources.

Strategic implementation Coordinate across housing,
economic development, park
planning, branding, infrastructure,
and community partnership efforts.

Keep long-standing initiatives
moving from planning into
implementation.

Program and Budget Highlights
A major new element in the FY 2026-27 Administration budget is the low-income utility rate assistance program. The program is intended to provide a structured affordability tool for qualifying customers while preserving transparent administration, predictable eligibility review, and ongoing monitoring of program capacity and fiscal impact.

The budget also reflects increased insurance premiums. Because insurance, risk management, and certain citywide administrative costs are budgeted within Administration, these changes are visible within the department total even though the underlying benefit and risk-management functions support the broader City organization.

Organization and Staffing
The department structure remains consistent with the prior year and includes City Council, Administration, Payroll, Legal, Insurance, Information Technology, Elections, and Community Promotions. Administration includes the City Administrator and City Clerk functions. Payroll and personnel-related support are provided through the Personnel/Accounting Specialist, with additional operational and administrative support provided through the Administrative Support Specialist.

The City Clerk function supports records management, public records requests, agenda and minutes preparation, elections administration, Municipal Code updates, and related public meeting requirements. The payroll and personnel support function includes bi-weekly payroll processing, payroll tax coordination, CalPERS reporting, onboarding support, W-2 processing, and wage-scale administration.
224
99 | P a g e
Community Promotions and External Support
Administration continues to support community promotions and outside partnerships that advance local economic activity, civic engagement, and community benefit. These activities are administered in coordination with City Council priorities, available funding, and established procedures for contracts, grants, and public-purpose support.

Summary
The FY 2026-27 City Administration budget supports the City's core governance structure and the internal capacity needed to conduct City Council direction. The department will continue to focus on consistent public processes, strengthened administrative systems, coordination of strategic initiatives, and transparent management of citywide costs and community support programs. 225

The City Administrator continues to serve as Planning Director, providing department oversight and coordination with citywide priorities.

Major FY 2026-27 work areas include OpenGov permitting implementation, the housing needs assessment and housing toolkit, parking and land use analysis, active transportation coordination, and ongoing updates to public-facing planning information. These efforts support the Strategic Plan themes of housing and economic development, downtown investment, infrastructure coordination, and improved City functionality.
227
102 | P a g e
Organization and Staffing
The Planning Department includes one full-time Principal Planner. The City Administrator serves as Planning Director. The small staffing structure requires the department to balance daily applicant service, public counter support, interdepartmental coordination, and long-range project implementation. As a result, the department relies on clear priorities, outside technical support when appropriate, and close coordination with Administration, Public Works, Finance, and other City departments.

Strategic Context
Planning work is closely connected to several citywide strategic priorities. Housing work supports affordability, workforce needs, and regional collaboration. Downtown parking and land use planning supports economic development and better use of limited land resources. Active transportation work supports pedestrian and bicycle access, safe routes, and grant readiness.

Process modernization supports more consistent and transparent service for the public.

Because many Planning initiatives are multi-year efforts, FY 2026-27 is expected to focus on moving prior planning work into practical implementation. This includes translating studies, grantfunded planning, and policy analysis into clear next steps that can be considered by staff, Council, applicants, and community partners.

Summary
The FY 2026-27 Planning Department budget supports daily development review and the longerterm planning work needed to guide growth, housing, downtown activity, and community development in Bishop. The department will continue to provide applicant and public support while advancing practical tools for housing, parking, permitting, active transportation, and land use decision-making.

The budget reflects a small but strategically important department whose work often supports projects that extend beyond a single fiscal year. Continued coordination across departments and with outside partners will be important to move planning efforts from analysis into implementation. 228

The department's work is supported by the General Fund, and the total budget is inclusive of Finance and Treasurer costs.

Major FY 2026-27 work areas include completion of an internal controls manual, development of long-term financial planning tools and enhanced funding mechanisms, and continued improvement and synchronization of internal processes and software. These focus areas support the Strategic Plan's emphasis on City services and functionality, infrastructure investment, longterm sustainability, and transparent financial management. 230
105 | P a g e
Organization and Staffing
The Finance Department includes the Finance Director and staff support connected to accounting, administrative, and front-office financial functions. The Treasurer is a separate division within the General Fund, but the cost of the Treasurer is presented within the Finance Department narrative for budget-book purposes.

Because the department supports activity across all funds and departments, Finance work extends beyond direct accounting entries. The department assists with utility billing, revenue monitoring, grant reimbursement support, budget adjustments, audit preparation, financial analysis, and the controls necessary to protect City resources and maintain public trust.

Strategic Context
Finance work is directly tied to the City's ability to implement the Strategic Plan. Capital projects, housing initiatives, utility infrastructure, fleet and equipment replacement, public safety needs, and community services all require reliable cost information, cash-flow awareness, funding analysis, and fund-level accountability.

The FY 2026-27 focus on internal controls and process modernization reflects the City's need to maintain strong safeguards in a small-organization environment. The focus on long-term financial planning reflects a broader shift toward evaluating future infrastructure, equipment, facilities, and operating needs before they become immediate budget pressures.

Summary
The FY 2026-27 Finance Department budget supports the City's core financial infrastructure. The department will continue to maintain recurring financial operations while advancing internal control documentation, planning tools, and process improvements that improve consistency, transparency, and accountability.

These efforts are intended to strengthen the City's ability to manage current services, support strategic investments, respond to audit and compliance requirements, and preserve financial flexibility for future fiscal years.

Major FY 2026-27 priorities include continued implementation of the Park Master Plan, phased planning for Sunrise Mobile Home Park streets and related improvements, continued renovation work at Athletic Field 6, and equipment or facility replacements needed to maintain public spaces.

These efforts align with the Strategic Plan's focus on community spaces, local partnerships, parks, recreation, and long-term stewardship of public facilities. 233
108 | P a g e
Organization and Staffing
Community Services functions are carried out through staff, seasonal employees, program staff, and contracted or partner-supported activities as needed. Department work includes both recurring operations and project-based efforts, requiring coordination across recreation programming, facility maintenance, grounds maintenance, aquatic operations, housing-related maintenance at Sunrise Mobile Home Park, and public event support.

Because many Community Services programs are seasonal or facility-dependent, the department must balance daily maintenance needs with changing recreation demand, staffing availability, user-group coordination, and the timing of capital improvements. This requires an operating structure that can support regular public service while also advancing long-term improvement projects.

Strategic Context
Community Services work is directly tied to the City's goal of supporting community spaces and local partnerships. Parks, fields, pool facilities, and youth programs create opportunities for recreation, public health, civic activity, and quality-of-life improvements.

The department's FY 2026-27 focus reflects a shift from isolated maintenance needs toward more deliberate facility planning and staged implementation. The Park Master Plan, Athletic Field 6 renovation, Sunrise Mobile Home Park improvement planning, and park equipment replacement work together to improve the reliability and long-term usefulness of public facilities.

Summary
The FY 2026-27 Community Services Department budget supports the City's parks, recreation programs, public facilities, pool operations, youth programming, and Sunrise Mobile Home Park responsibilities. The department will continue providing core public-facing services while advancing planning and capital improvement priorities that support safe, accessible, and wellmaintained community spaces.

These efforts are intended to maintain current services, improve public amenities, support local partnerships, and position the City to make practical, phased investments in facilities that serve residents, visitors, and community organizations.

Department Role
The Bishop Fire Department provides fire protection, emergency response, rescue, prevention, and life safety services through a shared service model between the City of Bishop and the Bishop Rural Fire Protection District. The department serves the City, the District, the Bishop Paiute Tribe, and surrounding areas within the department's response area and sphere of influence.

The department responds to structural, wildland, urban, vehicle fires and provides EMS response, vehicle extrication, technical rescue, hazard mitigation, prevention, construction plan review, investigations, inspections, and community safety support. Fire Department operations require both immediate emergency readiness and long-term planning for apparatus, facilities, equipment, training, and member safety.

The department is staffed through a combination of career personnel and volunteer ranks. Current staffing includes the Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, Captain, Engineer, part-time Mechanic, and volunteer members who support emergency response, training, community events, and department operations.

Core Service Areas

FY 2026-27 Work Plan
The FY 2026-27 work plan focuses on emergency response reliability, member safety, facility functionality, apparatus replacement, training, and long-term public safety planning. These priorities reflect the department's Strategic Plan focus on equipment, facilities, training, software, and sustained fire department service capacity.

Priority Area FY 2026-27 Focus Expected Result
Apparatus replacement Advance the ladder truck project
and continue long-term apparatus
planning consistent with public
safety needs and available funding.

Improved response capacity and a
clearer replacement path for major
fire apparatus.

Station 1 facilities Complete or advance restroom and
locker room upgrades to support
department members and
operational readiness.

Safer, more functional station
facilities for staff, volunteers, and
emergency response operations.

Public safety campus Continue planning for public safety campus improvements, including
the long-term functionality of fire
and public safety facilities.

Better alignment between facility
needs, service expectations, and
future capital investment.

Training and readiness Continue specialized fire, EMS,
rescue, WUI, driver/operator, and
safety training for career and
volunteer members.

Improved service reliability, member
safety, and readiness for a broad
range of emergency calls.

Systems and response tools Continue implementation and use of modern department systems,
reporting tools, software, and
equipment that support daily
operations.

More consistent documentation,
better operational coordination, and
stronger administrative support for
emergency services.

Program and Budget Highlights
The Fire Department is funded through a shared service model. Generally speaking, the City's General Fund supports approximately 50% of Fire Department costs, while a separate partner entity funds the other portion. This shared structure allows the community to maintain a broader emergency response system than either entity would likely support independently.

The FY 2026-27 budget also includes activity in the General Capital Projects Fund related to the ladder truck project. The General Capital Projects Fund captures the capital project activity and associated funding sources, while the budget presentation is intended to avoid duplicating the General Fund transfer component when describing the total Fire Department budget. 236
111 | P a g e
Organization and Staffing
Fire Department operations depend on coordination between career personnel, volunteer members, administrative support, mechanics, partner agencies, and regional emergency response partners. Because fire service capacity is dependent on training, readiness, facilities, apparatus, and volunteer participation, the department must manage both daily operating demands and longterm capital needs.

The shared City-District structure is central to the department's operating model. The City and the partner entity generally share Fire Department costs, and the department serves a response area that extends beyond City limits. This structure supports regional service delivery, but also requires continued coordination on staffing, equipment, capital planning, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

Strategic Context
The FY 2026-27 Fire Department budget aligns with the City's Strategic Plan focus on public safety, infrastructure, equipment replacement, training, and service reliability. The ladder truck project, Station 1 restroom and locker room improvements, and public safety campus planning all support a more durable fire service platform for residents, businesses, visitors, and partner communities.

Training and member readiness remain essential. The department's service profile includes fire suppression, EMS support, vehicle extrication, technical rescue, WUI response, prevention, inspections, and public education. Sustained training ensures that career and volunteer members are prepared for the wide range of calls and public safety expectations placed on the department.

Summary
The FY 2026-27 Fire Department budget supports emergency response, prevention, training, apparatus replacement, facilities, capital project activity, and the City's participation in a shared fire service model. The budget reflects both the ongoing cost of maintaining reliable fire protection and the need to invest in long-term apparatus and facility needs.

The department will continue focusing on response reliability, member safety, training, volunteer support, capital planning, regional coordination, and responsible use of General Fund and General Capital Projects Fund resources to support public safety across the Bishop area. 237

The department provides law enforcement response, patrol, investigations, traffic enforcement, public safety dispatch, records administration, property and evidence management, emergency coordination, and community-facing police services.

The department is structured around patrol and field operations, dispatch, records, property and evidence, investigations, administrative support, and public safety coordination. Command and supervisory staff guide daily operations, while sworn officers, dispatchers, records staff, and support personnel carry out continuous service responsibilities. The FY 2026-27 staffing structure does not include a Lieutenant position.

During FY 2025-26, the department continued investing in public safety technology, training, staffing, vehicle replacement, grant-supported equipment, and community-facing services. The FY 2026-27 budget continues this work with an emphasis on facility resiliency, training, staffing stability, reliable response capacity, and maintenance of a modern small-city police department. 238

FY 2026-27 Work Plan
The FY 2026-27 work plan is organized around public safety reliability, operational resiliency, training, staffing continuity, and responsible replacement of equipment and vehicles. The department's strategic planning priorities identify infrastructure, training, and staffing as the main areas of focus for the coming year.

Priority Area FY 2026-27 Focus Expected Result
Station infrastructure Advance electrical overhaul,
dispatch reliability, server security,
and related facility improvements

coordination
Maintain public-facing police
services, school and community
engagement, and strong working
relationships with allied agencies.

Coordinated public safety response
and continued trust with residents,
businesses, visitors, and regional

Program and Budget Highlights
The Police Department budget is primarily supported by the General Fund, with additional restricted public safety support from the COPS Fund. COPS funding provides targeted support for eligible law enforcement and public safety activity and supplements, rather than replaces, the City's core General Fund commitment to police operations.

The major FY 2026-27 cost drivers are the station electrical overhaul, vehicle replacement, and the effect of personnel cost escalations on a personnel-heavy department. Because public safety operations depend heavily on trained staff, even routine personnel cost changes have a visible effect on the department's total budget.
240
115 | P a g e
Organization and Staffing
Police Department services are delivered through a combination of sworn law enforcement personnel, dispatch personnel, records and administrative staff, property and evidence responsibilities, and support functions. These services require continuous coordination because public safety operations must remain available during normal business hours, evenings, weekends, holidays, emergencies, and periods of elevated community demand.

The department's operating environment includes both local police service and regional public safety coordination. Officers and dispatch staff regularly coordinate with allied agencies, including county, tribal, state, fire, emergency medical, and neighboring law enforcement partners. This coordination is necessary because public safety activity often crosses jurisdictional or service-area boundaries.

Strategic Context
The FY 2026-27 Police work plan aligns with the City's Strategic Plan focus on public safety, service functionality, and infrastructure reliability. Station electrical and technology-related improvements support the goal of making the Police Department able to operate in modern conditions with built-in resiliency.

Training and staffing remain central strategic priorities. Better-trained officers and dispatchers provide better service to the community and reduce risk to the City, while proactive staffing practices help the department plan for retirements, vacancies, and the long training period required before new personnel can independently cover full operational responsibilities.

Summary

Department Role
The Public Works Department maintains and improves the City's core physical infrastructure. The department supports water, sewer, streets, drainage, facilities, equipment, building and permitting coordination, utility support, GIS and records work, and implementation of major capital projects.

Public Works staff consists of the Public Works Director, Public Works Superintendent, Public Works Supervisor, and four Maintenance Workers. Design, engineering, specialty studies, and construction services are supported through professional consultants and contractors as needed.

Because the department manages both routine services and major capital projects, the annual budget spans several funds and includes a significant amount of project-specific and externally funded activity.

The FY 2026-27 budget reflects continued investment in infrastructure reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term asset stewardship. Major efforts include South Warren Street improvements, West Line Street Water Main Replacement, sewer and wastewater treatment planning, street and bridge activity, heavy equipment replacement, and continued modernization of infrastructure records and work systems.

FY 2026-27 Work Plan
The FY 2026-27 Public Works work plan is driven by capital project delivery, utility reliability, street and drainage improvements, equipment replacement, and continued implementation of the City's infrastructure priorities. Many of these projects rely on a combination of local funds, restricted funds, reimbursement revenue, grants, federal earmark funding, and other external sources.

Priority Area FY 2026-27 Focus Expected Result
South Warren Street Implement the South Warren Street
Improvement project using the S.

Warren St. Improvement Fund,
federal earmark resources, and
related funding mechanisms.

Improved pavement, sidewalk,
lighting, drainage, and public
infrastructure in a priority corridor.

Water Main Replacement project
and related utility reliability
improvements.

Reduced system vulnerability,
improved isolation capability, and
strengthened long-term water

Sewer and wastewater Continue regional wastewater
treatment planning, sewer rate and
CIP implementation, and project
work tied to the BAWA planning
effort.

Clearer long-term sewer
infrastructure planning and
continued progress toward a
durable regional treatment solution.

Street and bridge projects Continue pavement preservation, bridge planning, drainage work,
and active transportation/street
coordination where funding is
available.

Better-maintained transportation
infrastructure and a more organized
pipeline of future street projects.

Systems and records Continue GIS, asset information,
permitting, and maintenance record
modernization efforts.

Improved internal tracking, better
public service support, and stronger
long-term infrastructure
management.

Program and Budget Highlights
The FY 2026-27 Public Works budget is unusually large because it includes major project activity across multiple funds. Significant external funding sources are included in the total, which means the budget should not be read as a recurring General Fund operating burden. The total also reflects project activity that is tracked in special or capital project funds for transparency and accountability.

Major funding sources include the General Fund, Sewer Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Water Fund, Heavy Equipment Replacement Fund, and S. Warren St. Improvement Fund. The budget includes capital projects, utility work, street and drainage activity, equipment replacement, and externally funded reimbursement-based projects that require City administration and project delivery capacity. 244
119 | P a g e
Organization and Staffing
Public Works operations depend on a small core staff supported by consultants, contractors, engineers, funding partners, regulatory agencies, and other City departments. The department must balance immediate field operations with project management, construction coordination, reporting, grant compliance, and long-term asset planning.

Because infrastructure work often requires long lead times, the department's budget includes projects in different stages of development, including planning, design, environmental review, bidding, construction, reimbursement, and closeout. This structure allows the City to pursue outside funding and deliver projects while maintaining core operations.

Strategic Context
The FY 2026-27 Public Works budget aligns with the City's Strategic Plan focus on infrastructure maintenance, improvement, and replacement. The budget supports utility reliability, roadway and sidewalk improvements, water and sewer capital planning, drainage improvements, active transportation coordination, and modernization of records and permitting systems.

Public Works will continue to use available funding to move major projects from planning into implementation. The department's work on South Warren Street, West Line Street, sewer and wastewater planning, street preservation, and utility capital planning supports a more resilient infrastructure system for residents, businesses, visitors, and regional partners.

Summary
The FY 2026-27 Public Works budget supports both core field operations and an unusually large capital project program. The budget reflects the City's need to maintain current infrastructure while also using external funding and restricted resources to address major capital needs.

The department will continue focusing on reliable utility services, street and drainage improvements, capital project delivery, equipment readiness, regulatory compliance, and longterm infrastructure planning across the General Fund, utility funds, restricted transportation funds, equipment replacement funds, and dedicated project funds. 245

Agenda Item: 10.B
Date of Meeting: June 8, 2026
Department: Administration
To: City Council
From: Pam Foster
Subject: Consideration and Review of Draft Joint Powers Agreement with Bishop Fire Protection District
Prepared On: June 1, 2026
Attachments: Agreement for Shared Management of Fire Services - DRAFT

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:

The Bishop Fire Protection District and the City of Bishop have had a long standing agreement to work together to provide fire services for the Greater Bishop Area. This agreement was most recently in the form of a Joint Powers Agreement dated July 1, 2019. This newly drafted agreement will replace the 2019 and outlines a system inline with how the departments currently function.

This agreement was reviewed by the Bishop Fire Protection District at their meeting on June 4, 2026.

Analysis/Discussion:

Fire Chief Russell, Finance Director Aukee, and City Administrator Foster have worked with legal counsel from both agencies to draft a new agreement that better describes the relationship that exists between the District and the City. We believe that this structure maintains the intent of previous agreements, while addressing operational and fiscal realities of each agency.

Additionally, this agreement allows for more flexibility in operating while further evaluation and analysis related to the District's options for expanded service areas or the ability to charge for services.

Impacts to Council Goals and Strategic Planning Priorities:

This agreement takes steps toward Strategic Plan Objective 5.1 - Develop a Fire Department strategic plan with the Bishop RFPD. And fulfills Strategic Plan Objective 5.5 - Form a Joint Powers Authority with the Bishop RFPD - although it has been determined that a Joint Powers Authority is not the recommended model.

Budget Impacts:

There are no budgetary impacts associated with approving this agreement, any budget items 252
related to fire would be brought forth separately.

Legal Review:

City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this agreement and deems it appropriate.

Recommended Action:

Review and provide feedback on the Draft Agreement for Shared Management of Fire Services with the Bishop Fire Protection District.

Approved By: Ethan Aukee 6/1/2026

1 AGREEMENT FOR SHARED MANAGEMENT OF FIRE SERVICES
This Joint Powers Agreement (“Agreement” or “JPA”) is effective as of __________, 2026 (“Effective Date”), by and between the City of Bishop, a California general law municipal corporation (“City”), and the Bishop Fire Protection District, a California fire protection district formed pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 13800 et seq. (“District”). The City and District are referred to collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party,” each organized and existing under the laws of the State of California.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, each Party is empowered by law to acquire sites, construct, equip, staff, maintain, operate, and lease public buildings and related facilities for the provision of fire, medical, and other emergency services; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to maximize use of their existing resources, create cost-containment opportunities, reduce duplication, maintain local control, and continue to deliver fire, medical, and other emergency services at a consistently high standard; and
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to accomplish these purposes by jointly exercising their common powers in the manner set forth in this Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Parties entered into an joint powers agreement for Shared Management of Fire Departments dated July 1, 2019 (“2019 Agreement”), and now desire to supersede and replace the 2019 Agreement in its entirety with this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Parties are authorized to jointly exercise their powers pursuant to Article 1, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1, Sections 6500 through 6530 of the California Government Code; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Government Code section 56133(e)(4), the Parties’ entry into this JPA does not require approval of the Local Agency Formation Commission.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits, promises, and agreements set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Purpose
This Agreement is made pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, codified in California Government Code section 6500 et seq. (the “Act”) to permit the joint exercise of powers common to the Parties.
254
2 The purpose of this Agreement is to jointly manage, equip, maintain, and operate fire, medical, and other emergency services for the benefit of the Parties and the communities they serve. Such purpose shall be accomplished, and such common powers exercised, in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

The Parties may use the designation “Bishop Fire Department” to identify the services provided under this Agreement, including on equipment, uniforms, buildings, letterhead, and directories. The use of such designation shall not be deemed to create a separate legal entity, alter the liability of the Parties, or modify the contractual obligations of the Parties under this Agreement or any other agreements.

All preexisting obligations, rights, and privileges of the Parties shall continue, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2. Service Provided
The Parties shall jointly coordinate an emergency response system that includes structural firefighting, wildland firefighting, public education, hazardous materials response, emergency medical services (EMS), disaster response, rescue operations, fire prevention inspections, fire investigations, and related public safety, managerial, and administrative services provided by the Bishop Fire Department. All such services shall be provided by the Bishop Fire Department to the extent and in the manner consistent with this Agreement and the approved annual budgets.

Section 3. Term
This Agreement shall become effective on July 1, 2026, and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with Sections 7 or 8 of this Agreement.

Section 4. Key Management Services
The following management personnel and services (“Key Management Personnel/Services”) are subject to this Agreement:

Fire Chief
The Fire Chief shall provide overall administration and oversight of the Bishop Fire Department in accordance with this Agreement, applicable laws, local ordinances, and customary professional standards for fire service leadership. The Fire Chief’s duties and responsibilities to the City shall be governed exclusively by the terms of the Fire Chief’s employment agreement with the City.

For the District, the Fire Chief shall attend a minimum of one regular District Commission meeting each calendar quarter and shall provide reports, updates, and recommendations as reasonably requested by the District. This quarterly attendance and reporting requirement shall supersede any District Bylaws, policies, or other 255
3 governing documents that would otherwise require more frequent attendance or reporting by the Fire Chief.

Financial and Administrative Services
The City shall provide financial and administrative services to the District for the term of this Agreement, including accounts payable, procurement, billing and accounts receivable, general accounting and reporting, budget development and monitoring, and other general services such as human resources and city clerk support.

The City shall perform these services in compliance with applicable state and federal laws and with City policies and regulations. The District shall remain responsible for understanding the financial and administrative information and activities performed by the City under this Agreement. The City performs these services as a service provider, not as the District’s agent, and the Parties agree that the City does not assume a fiduciary duty to the District.

The District shall compensate the City for all financial and administrative services provided. Compensation amounts and billing frequency shall be established by the City using documented cost-allocation methods in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. All such methods and charges shall be subject to review as part of the City’s annual financial audit.

Section 5. Budget and Cost Apportionment Plan
Following the principles set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this reference, each Party, through its annual budget adoption process, shall determine the expenditures and costs to be shared under this Agreement (the “Cost Apportionment Plan”). The Cost Apportionment Plan shall be prepared jointly by the Fire Chief, the City Administrator, and the City Finance Director, and submitted to the Parties for review.

The Cost Apportionment Plan shall consist of the separately adopted budgets of each Party for the applicable fiscal year and shall be developed in accordance with the costsharing principles set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference.

No Party shall be required to limit or reduce its expenditure solely because the other Party elects to do so, and each Party may authorize additional expenditures as necessary to maintain the services provided pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement.

The Parties agree that Bishop Fire Department operating expenditures shall generally be shared equally. However, during any fiscal year in which this Agreement is in effect, if the level of service required under Section 2 results in operating expenditures such that one-half of those expenditures exceeds the District’s annual revenue net of interest earnings, the District shall contribute an amount equal to its annual revenue net of interest earnings toward operating expenditures.
256
4 In any fiscal year in which the City contributes more than one-half of operating expenditures pursuant to this Section, the District shall make good-faith efforts to evaluate and pursue reasonable opportunities to increase its revenues in order to support its proportional share of operating expenditures in future fiscal years. Such efforts may include, but are not limited to, reviewing existing revenue sources, identifying potential new revenue mechanisms authorized by law, and assessing whether adjustments to existing revenue rates or structures are warranted. Nothing in this paragraph obligates the District to adopt any specific revenue measure; however, the District shall actively and in good faith engage in such evaluations to reduce reliance on City contributions beyond the District’s annual revenue net of interest earnings.

The Fire Chief, City Administrator, and City Finance Director shall have the authority to fully implement the approved budgets and Cost Apportionment Plan. They may recommend expenditures, transfers, or adjustments within the amounts authorized by the Cost Apportionment Plan. The Fire Chief shall have the authority to exceed Cost Apportionment Plan personnel expense allocations only for temporary, strike team, or emergency positions, whether in number, classification, or salary. The Fire Chief, City Administrator, and City Finance Director may recommend adjustments to the Cost Apportionment Plan. Adjustments shall not require approval by the legislative bodies of all Parties; approval by the legislative body of only the Party whose budget is affected by the adjustment shall be required.

Section 6. Services to Other Agencies
The Fire Chief, the City Administrator, and the City Finance Director may jointly recommend that the Parties provide fire, medical, or other emergency services to agencies that are not Parties to this Agreement. Such services may be provided only with the concurrence of all Parties and upon the execution of an amendment to this Agreement by all Parties, including any additional participating agencies. Charges for such services shall be established in accordance with the authority granted under Government Code section 55631 et seq.

Section 7. Withdrawal: Termination
A Party may withdraw from this Agreement without penalty upon providing a minimum of eighteen (18) months’ written notice, with withdrawal effective on July 1 unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all Parties. The withdrawing Party shall continue to perform all obligations under this Agreement through the effective date of withdrawal. A withdrawing Party shall remain responsible for fulfilling all obligations, including financial obligations, that accrued prior to the effective withdrawal date. 257
5 Section 8. Dissolution
This Agreement shall terminate if the number of Parties to the Agreement becomes fewer than two, or if all Parties unanimously agree in writing to terminate the Agreement.

If the Parties have accumulated any assets related to the shared management of fire, medical, or other emergency services prior to termination, such assets shall be distributed among the Parties in proportion to their respective contributions, or as the Parties may otherwise mutually agree.

Section 9. Amendment to Agreement
The Fire Chief, the City Administrator, the City Finance Director, or either Party may recommend an amendment to this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only upon the approval of all Parties. A proposed amendment shall be forwarded, together with its recommendation, to the legislative body of each Party. The proposal shall be accompanied by the full text of the proposed amendment, which shall be adopted, executed, and returned to the Fire Chief, the City Administrator, or the City Finance Director if the Party approves the amendment.

Section 10. Additional Parties to the Agreement
Agencies, as defined in the Act, that are not Parties to this Agreement may become Parties only by amendment to this Agreement and upon the approval of all existing Parties.

Section 11. Notices
Whenever notice or other communication is permitted or required under this Agreement, it shall be deemed given when personally delivered; when received, if delivered by overnight courier or by email with written acknowledgment of receipt; or forty-eight (48) hours after deposit in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

To City: To District:

City of Bishop Bishop Rural Fire Protection District
PO Box 1236 PO Box 1236
Bishop, CA 93515 Bishop, CA 93515
Attn: Mayor and City Administrator Attn: Commission Chair A Party may change its notice address or email address by providing notice of the change in accordance with this Section.

Section 12. Severability
If any part, term, portion, or provision of this Agreement, or its application to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, unenforceable, or in conflict with State or Federal 258
6 law, the validity of the remaining parts, terms, portions, or provisions, and their application to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected, provided that the remaining provisions can be construed to carry out the intent of the Parties in entering into this Agreement.

Section 13. Hold Harmless and Indemnity
Each Party shall defend, indemnify, and hold the other Party harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, and attorneys’ fees arising out of the negligent acts, errors, omissions, or willful misconduct of the indemnifying Party, its officers, employees, or agents, but only in proportion to and to the extent caused by such acts or omissions.

Each Party shall be responsible for defending itself against any claim, action, or proceeding arising out of the concurrent acts or omissions of its own employees. In such cases, each Party shall retain its own legal counsel, bear its own defense costs, and waive any right to seek reimbursement of such costs from the other Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a trial verdict or arbitration award allocates comparative fault among the Parties, the Parties may seek reimbursement or reallocation of defense costs, settlement payments, judgments, or awards consistent with that allocation.

As required by Section 15 of this Agreement, the City shall provide workers’ compensation coverage for injuries sustained in the normal course and scope of employment by employees of either party performing services under this Agreement.

The Parties mutually waive any right of subrogation against each other arising from losses subject to workers’ compensation coverage.

The Parties acknowledge that the “firefighter’s rule” (primary assumption of risk) generally prevents public safety officers employed by one agency from asserting liability claims against another agency for injuries incurred in the line of duty. To the extent any such claim or action is brought by an employee of one Party against another Party, the employing Party shall indemnify the other Party for any resulting claims, actions, or losses.

Section 14. Legal Representation and Advice
Each Party shall seek legal counsel from its own designated legal representative regarding matters arising under this Agreement. If a legal matter concerns two or more Parties and joint representation would provide mutual benefit, the Parties may agree to be represented by the same legal counsel, provided no conflict of interest exists. The Parties may also agree on an allocation of legal costs for such joint representation, as permitted by law.
259
7 When two or more Parties are represented by the same legal counsel, no Party may bind any other Party to a settlement agreement without the written consent of the other Party.

Section 15. Insurance

Each Party shall provide the other Party with certificates of insurance or an evidence-ofcoverage letter demonstrating compliance with this Section, including a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation coverage. 260
8 The City shall endorse its general liability policies to name the Bishop Fire Protection District and its officers, officials, employees, volunteers, and agents as additional insureds or additional protected parties. The District shall endorse its general liability policies to name the City of Bishop and its officers, officials, employees, volunteers, and agents as additional insureds or additional protected parties.

Section 16. Mediation
If any dispute arises under this Agreement, any Party may request that the matter be submitted to mediation. The Parties shall participate in mediation within forty-five (45) days of such a request. The mediator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Parties; if the Parties cannot agree, each Party shall submit one name from a list of mediators provided by an agreed-upon service, and the mediator shall be selected by a blind draw.

The cost of mediation shall be shared equally among the Parties. No Party shall be deemed a prevailing Party for purposes of mediation, and no Party may initiate legal action arising out of this Agreement without first participating in mediation and making a good-faith attempt to reach resolution.

Once commenced through an initial meeting with the mediator, the mediation process shall not exceed ninety (90) days unless extended in writing by the Parties.

Section 17. Additional Documents and Agreement
The Parties agree to cooperate in the preparation and execution of any additional documents or agreements that may be necessary to carry out the terms, purposes, and intent of this Agreement.

Section 18. Successors
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, including their directors, officers, employees, agents, and authorized representatives, whether individually or collectively.

Section 19. Warranty of Legal Authority
Each Party warrants and represents that it has the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the obligations required of it under this Agreement.

Neither Party shall assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer any interest in this Agreement, or any duty or obligation arising under it, without the prior written 261
9 consent of the other Party. Any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void and of no legal effect.

10 EXHIBIT A
Cost Sharing Principles
The purpose of this Exhibit A is to set forth the general principles and methods used to allocate costs between the Parties under this Agreement. Each Party may have obligations or expenditures that are not appropriate for funding by the other Party, and this Exhibit identifies the classifications and cost-sharing approaches that apply to each expenditure category.

Cost-sharing determinations may involve managerial accounting estimates, rounding conventions, or timing differences that may result in minor variances. If an obligation to incur an expenditure arises under this Agreement and no specific cost-sharing principle is clearly identified for that expenditure, the default cost-sharing principle shall be an equal (50/50) allocation between the Parties.

Accounting Basis Considerations
The City accounts for its expenditures on a modified accrual basis, while the District accounts for its expenditures on a modified cash basis. Because these differing bases of accounting affect the timing of expenditure recognition, the Parties may record shared costs in different periods. These timing differences do not affect the underlying cost-sharing obligations or the proportional allocation of expenditures established by this Exhibit A. All cost-sharing determinations shall be based on the expenditure classifications and allocation principles set forth in this Exhibit, regardless of the timing of recognition in either Party’s financial statements.

The subsequent pages of this Exhibit A identify the expenditure titles used by the Bishop Fire Department, the accounting classifications associated with each title, and the specific principles that govern the allocation of each expenditure between the Parties. 263

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026
269
alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 272
