Fiscal Year 2023/24 Budget Amendment and Mid-Year Financial Report. Finance Director Elms stated there is a correction in my staff report, it references December 2024 and should be December 2023. The City's annual budget is a financial plan based on information available at the time. Like any plan, it may change based on conditions. The Mid-Year report is developed using six months of unaudited revenue and expenditure activity. The review is intended to update the Council on how revenues and expenditures are trending compared to initial projections and provides an opportunity for the City to make amendments to its projections to better align the budget to actuals. At midyear, the General Fund has reported 33% of projected revenue and expended 62% of its expenditure budget. It's typical for the General Fund revenues to trend under 50% at mid-year due to the timing of receipts. The average at mid- year is 30%. Based on current trends and information available, revenues are anticipated to end the year at approximately $15 million and within .5% of budgeted levels. Sales Tax, VLE, TOT, and Property Taxes are performing close to budget projections. Based on the midyear review, staff is recommending amendments to revenue estimates identified in Exhibit A. The amendments will account for grants awarded post budget adoption with a net of $65,000.

Operating expenditures are at or below the approved budget. As indicated in Exhibit A, staff is proposing amendments to appropriations in the General Fund with a net increase of $132,000 No amendments are being proposed for the water or sewer utility funds. Exhibit A does provide for budget amendments to other funds with amendments to Measure A and Capital Streets projects being the most notable. It is recommended that the Council receive and file the mid-year report and adopt Resolution 2024-007, the first amendment to the City's 2024 Operating and Capital Budget as referenced in Exhibit A.

Councilman Reynolds applauded the efforts taken to get us to where we are today. Thank you for keeping us on track. We have all worked towards improving this community. Kudos.

No public comment. Vice Mayor Rodriguez moved approval of Resolution No. 2024-007. The motion was seconded by Councilman Burton by a unanimous aye vote.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-007. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BLYTHE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024.

New Water Reservoir at Palo Verde College Project. Interim City Manager Crecelius stated the City of Blythe's Water Utility system is comprised of three systems, the City proper, Hidden Beaches and Mesa Ranch. The Mesa Ranch water system includes a 500,000-water reservoir located at Palo Verde College. The tank has met its useful life and must be replaced to maintain water utility operations. In 2021, The Holt Group prepared the project design documents for the replacement of the water reservoir and the project was put out to bid in January 2022. At the same time, and based on the Engineer's Estimate, staff applied for the FY 2022 EDI Community Project Funding Grant in the amount of $500,000. In February 2022, bids were received for the project with the low bid being over $1 million dollars. Without adequate funding for the project, Council rejected the bids. Staff then submitted an Urgent Drinking Water Needs Grant to the State Water Resources Control Board for $500,000 to close the funding gap.

In late 2022, staff re-issued a Notice Inviting Bids for the Water Reservoir Project. At the bid opening on January 10, 2023, the City received bids from AZCA Drilling and Pump, Inc. in the amount of $978,400, Cora Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $1,110,450 and Canyon Springs in the amount of $1,280,706. After the bid opening, AZCA Drilling and Pump, Inc. was determined -42
to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. However, as staff continued to work to obtain project funding, finalize grant agreements from both grant funding sources, obtain design approval from the State Water Resources Control Board, and finalize environmental documents, an agreement for the project was not awarded. As both the State and Federal grants have strict timelines for construction, and the previous bids received comply with the project requirements and were never rejected, staff recommends awarding the bid to AZCA Drilling and Pump, Inc.

This will save time on re-bidding the project for a third time. In December 2023, ACA submitted a proposed change order in the amount of $97,600, noting that the original bids were valid for 120 days and that since the time of receipt of bids, both prevailing wage rates and materials prices have increased. The change order increases AZCA's price to $1,076,000. With the price increase, AZCA remains the low bidder. Due to the considerable amount of time that has passed since the bid opening in January 2023 and the increases in prevailing wage rates and materials prices, staff believes the change order is reasonable. Staff also believes that allowing the change order due to such increases would not give AZCA an unfair advantage. There is a 12- week lead time on manufacturing the 500,000-gallon water reservoir. Once the tank is delivered, construction is expected to take another 4-6 weeks. With the City required to have the project completed by November 30, 2024 to receive reimbursement from the State grant funding, there is no time to re-bid the project, as it would take another 2-3 months to solicit new bids.

Therefore, it is recommended that Council award the agreement to AZCA as the lowest responsible bidder, approved Change Order No. 1, authorize the Interim City Manager to execute Agreement No. 2024-010 A in the amount of $1,076,000 with AZCA Drilling & Pump, Inc. once all bonds and contract documents have been approved as to form by the Interim City Manager and City Attorney, authorize an additional $108,000 for contingencies, project inspection and engineering services, establish a project budget not to exceed $1,184,000, and authorize the Interim City Manager to approve and execute changes orders and approve expenditures for engineering and project inspection services during construction within the approved project budget.

No public comment. Councilman Reynolds moved approval of staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Burton with a unanimous aye vote.

Demolition and Abatement of 125 W. Murphy Street- Part 1 EVCS Power Relocation. Interim City Manager Crecelius stated the plan for many years has been to demolish the vacant building located at 125 W. Murphy Street to expand the parking lot at City Hall. In doing so, this would clean up the blighted structure and allow for more public parking for those with business in City Hall. There are two Electric Vehicle Charging stalls in the parking lot at City Hall. When they were installed, roughly 10 years ago the power was supplied from 125 W.

Murphy Street. Before the site can be demolished, the power supply will need to be relocated to City Hall. Once the power supply is relocated, subsequent bidding documents will be released for the demotion and abatement and parking lot expansion. In February, staff released a Notice Inviting Bids for the Demolition and Abatement at 125 W. Murphy Street Part 1 EVCS Power Relocation. Sealed bids were received until 2:00pm on March 5, 2024. One bid was received from Johnson Electric in the amount of $17,975.00. City staff reviewed the bid submitted by Johnson Electric and determined it was responsive and responsible. Johnson Electric has performed electrical work for the city for years. Their contractor's license is current and in good standing with the State of California. Therefore, it is recommended Council authorize the -43-
Interim City Manager to execute Agreement No. 2024-012 A in the amount of $17,975.00 with Johnson Electric once all bonds and contract documents are approved as to form by the Interim City Manager and City Attorney, authorize an additional $2,000 for contingencies, establish a project budget not to exceed $19,975 and authorize the Interim City Manager to approve and execute change orders during construction within the approved project budget.

No public comment. Councilman Reynolds moved approval of staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Burton with a unanimous aye vote.

Ordinance No. 929-24 Establishing a 72-hour Parking Limit. Lieutenant Walnoha stated our City streets are frequently used to store vehicles for extended periods of time. These vehicles raise public safety concerns such as obstruction of access to rights-of-way along with reduced sight, distance and visibility which have a detrimental effect on public health, safety, welfare, and quality of life within the city along with visual blight. California Vehicle Code 22651 subsection (k) outlines the circumstances in which a Peace Officer is authorized to remove a vehicle from a highway if it is left parked or left standing for 72 or more consecutive hours in violation of a local ordinance authorizing removal. The Blythe Municipal Code does not currently have any restrictions regarding how long a vehicle may be parked on a City street. To address this, staff has proposed Ordinance No. 929-24, which prohibits parking, leaving standing or the storing of any vehicle on a highway, street, or alley for 72 or more consecutive hours. The Ordinance also states that the vehicle must be moved or relocated to a different location or parking stop at least ½ mile away and may not return to the same location or parking spot for at least 48 hours. If the vehicle is not moved or returns to the same location withing 48 hours, that vehicle will be subject to removal. When the Ordinance goes into effect, officers will place a warning notice on the vehicle upon initial contact advising the vehicle will be towed if not moved in accordance with the Ordinance. To preserve the safety and attractiveness of City streets, staff recommends Council introduce Ordinance No. 929-24.

Councilman Halby asked if this included recreational vehicles and trailers and city owned parking lots. It was reported it did include recreational vehicle and trailers, but not City owned parking lots. Councilman Halby asked for the parking lots to be included.

Council discussed various scenarios in which this Ordinance would or would not apply.

No public comment.

City Attorney Roberto stated should the Council wish to add City parking lots to the Ordinance, I suggest you include that in your motion. Move the Ordinance with the one change if that is what the Council decides.

Councilman Reynolds moved to introduce the Ordinance with the changes recommended by Council. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Rodriguez with a unanimous aye vote.

ORDINANCE NO. 929-24 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BLYTHE, CALIFORNIA ADDING A NEW SECTION 10.08.070 (PARKING FOR MORE THAN 72 HOURS PROHIBITED; REMOVAL) TO CHAPTER 10.08 (PARKING REGULATIONS) OF TITLE 10 (VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC) OF THE BLYTHI

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council:

1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute Agreement No. 2024-017 A with HdL Coren & Cone for property tax consulting and audit services once approved as to form by the Interim City Manager and City Attorney for a fixed fee of $13,860 in year one, adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for each subsequent year for a term of 5 years with contract automatically renewed each year thereafter.

2. Authorize the Interim City Manager to order additional work beyond the base services during the contract term in accordance with rates established within and execute written order(s) of any increase in compensation in an amount up to $75,000.

FISCAL IMPACT: Fixed fee of $13,860 in year one for base services, adjusted annually by the CPI for each subsequent year. Recovery of revenues as a direct or indirect result of work provided by consultant under this contract is subject to an additional fee of 25% of net funds recovered. Optional services outside the scope of services provided under the base fixed fee to be provided according to the hourly rates set forth in the agreement.

BACKGROUND: HdL Coren & Cone (HdL) is a state-wide expert that provides data analysis services to over 260 public agency clients. The City has contracted with Hal for sales tax consulting and audit services since 1992, property tax consulting and audit services since 2009, and more recently the City contracted for services relating to processing cannabis applications. HdL has recovered cumulatively over $1 million dollars over the 30 years the City has contracted for these services.

STAFF REPORT: The City's current contract with HdL for property tax services provides annual monitoring and reconciliation of secured and unsecured property tax revenues with the county records, access to an online database providing useful property information, and detailed annual reports of the City's property tax revenues. The services and tools provided assist in recovering misallocation of tax revenues, the development of tax revenue projections, and often with the use of the online database helps in identifying parcel information for active code enforcement cases.

The City has contracted with the firm for property tax consulting and audit services under the same contract since 2009. The City's current contract with HdL has provided these services at the same fixed base rate for the last 15 years. HdL has requested a review of its longstanding contract with the City proposing revisions to the current fixed annual fee for its services including a proposed annual cost escalator in each subsequent year of the contract. -80-
Staff believes continuing property tax consulting and audit services is beneficial for making sure that the City is accurately receiving tax revenue allocations.

3. Certification of Maintenance of Effort (MOE) of which the City certifies it will maintain its required base year amount of no less than $170,000 of local funds towards transportation needs.

The proposed Local Streets and Roads Capital Improvement Plan begins with fiscal year 2024- 2025 and extends through fiscal year 2028-2029. The report is for a period of five (5) years and is amendable annually in the event Council makes project changes. The attached plan includes:

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: First Addendum to MOU between City and PVUSD for the 2023/24 School Year and 2024 Summer School Programs
PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMEis Alony: It is recommended Council authorize he interim City Manager to for the ELO Program.

FISCAL IMPACT: $8,000 in additional revenue for the ELO Program.

BACKGROUND: The District is required by AB 130 to provide an Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP). The ELOP provides funding for afterschool and summer school enrichment programs for Transitional-Kindergarten through sixth grade students.

District Staff worked with the City to provide an ELO Program for 2023 summer school participants at the Joe Wine Blythe Recreation Center. As the Summer Program was successful, the City and PVUSD executed a MOU to continue the ELOP through the 2023/24 School year and Summer School session. To participate, parents can enroll their students in the ELO Program. The ELOP is open to 300 participants aged TK to 6th grade. Students are bussed to the Joe Wine Recreation Center after school and can participate in activities until 5pm.

STAFF REPORT: The current ELO program is open to students during regular school instruction days and the summer school session. It excludes holidays and school breaks. PVUSD wishes to add 10 additional days to the ELO Program to include three days during Thanksgiving break, Lincoln's Birthday, and the six days of fair break. Students enrolled in the ELOP could attend the Joe Wine Recreation center from 8am to 5pm on these dates. The addendum also extends participation to 7% and 8" graders, as funding allows.

The intent of the additional days is to assist working parents with childcare options when the school is closed for breaks and holidays. The only difference in the additional 10 days for participants is transportation will not be provided to the Center by the school and Recreation Staff will provide breakfast, lunch and snacks for participants based on nutrition guidelines provided by the school. This change is necessary as the school will not have the staff during school breaks to provide these services.

As this program continues to be a success for both the City and the School District, staff recommends Council authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the First Addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and PVUSD.

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance Establishing 72-Hour Parking Limit
PRESENTED BY: Keith Walnoha, Lieutenant
PREPARED BY: Brittany Roberto, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 929-24:

ORDINANCE NO. 929-24 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BLYTHE, CALIFORNIA, ADDING A NEW SECTION 10.08.070 (PARKING FOR MORE THAN 72 HOURS PROHIBITED; REMOVAL) TO CHAPTER 10.08 (PARKING REGULATIONS) OF TITLE 10 (VEHICLES

AND TRAFFIC OF THE BLYTHE MUNICIPAL CODE AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT

FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3) (COMMON SENSE EXEMPTION) FISCAL IMPACT: None.

BACKGROUND: City streets are frequently used to park or store vehicles for extended periods of time. Vehicles parked or stored on City streets for extended periods of time raises public safety concerns, including obstruction of access to rights-of-way, reduced site distance, and reduced visibility, all of which have a detrimental effect on the public health, safety, welfare, and quality of life in the City. Vehicles left parked or stored on City streets for extended periods of time also create visual blight.

California Vehicle Code section 22651 outlines the circumstances in which a peace officer or a regularly employed and salaried employee who is engaged in directing traffic or enforcing parking laws and regulations of a city in which a vehicle is located may remove a vehicle located within the territorial limits in which the officer or employee may act. Pursuant to subsection (k) of California Vehicle Code section 22651, removal is authorized if a vehicle is parked or left standing for 72 or more consecutive hours in violation of a local ordinance authorizing removal.

The Blythe Municipal Code currently does not have any restrictions regarding how long a vehicle can be parked on a City street. To address the health, safety, and quality of life impacts associated with extended vehicle parking and/or storage on City streets, staff prepared Ordinance No. 929-24 to add a new Section 10.08.070 to Chapter 10.08 of Title 10 of the Blythe Municipal Code to prohibit the parking and storage of vehicles on highways, streets, and alleys for 72 or more consecutive hours.

At its regular meeting on March 12, 2024, the City Council directed that the ordinance be revised to include City-owned parking lots in the 72-hour parking limitation and introduced Ordinance -115
No. 929-24.

STAFF REPORT: As revised pursuant to the Council's direction, Ordinance No. 929-24 prohibits parking, leaving standing, or storing any vehicle upon any highway, street, alley, or City- owned parking lot for 72 or more consecutive hours. The ordinance provides that a vehicle that has been parked or left standing in the same location or parking spot for 72 consecutive hours must be moved or relocated to a different location or parking spot that is at least one-half of a mile, or 2,640 feet, from its current location and may not return to the same location or parking spot for at least 48 hours after its departure. If a vehicle is not relocated to a different location or parking spot that is at least one-half of a mile from its current location or returns to the location or spot where it was previously parked or left standing within 48 hours, the vehicle will be subject to removal.

Once the ordinance goes into effect, officers will place a warning notice on the vehicle upon initial contact advising that the vehicle will be towed if it is not moved to a location at least one-half mile from the current location within 72 hours or if it returns to the same location or parking spot within 48 hours.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 929-24.

TOUGHT BATE CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit 2403-001 - Vertical Bridge Holdings, LLC PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended, subsequent to the Public Hearing, Council adopt the following Resolutions:

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-009. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BLYTHE

CONTAINING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF APPROVAL OF A NOTICE OF EXEMPTION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2403-001.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-010. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BLYTHE

CONTAINING FINDINGS AND CONDITION IN SUPPORT OF APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2403-001 TO ALLOW THE USE OF A WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITY ON A PARCEL DESIGNATED AS C-G (GENERAL COMMERCIAL).

FISCAL IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: Vertical Bridge Holdings, LLC submitted a Land Use Application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a new multi-carrier unmanned wireless telecom facility. The 100-foot monopole will be comprised of three sectors with three antenna per sector and designed to support a total of three carriers on three levels of the tower. The tower will be located on. 68 acres at 1593 E. Hobsonway. The site is legally described as APN 851-110-027 and has a General Commercial (C-G) zoning designation.

STAFF REPORT: The proposed wireless telecommunications facility will improve the quality of coverage by improving the network's performance within the coverage objective along Hobsonway and outward as far as the freeway. There is currently less than adequate coverage in the service area. With the installation of the proposed wireless communications facility, coverage will be increased as far as 2 miles to the east of the proposed site and will provide robust coverage to the north and south and will integrate with existing coverage provide by additional T-Mobile facilities located to the west of the coverage objective. The site was selected for the facility as the best available and least intrusive means to close the coverage gap in this area of the City.

The Blythe Municipal Code allows for a tower height of seventy-five (75) feet in a General Commercial zone. Additional height may be approved by the City Council provided that technical data justifies the need for greater height. Vertical Bridge Holdings, LLC is requesting the Council approve the installation of a 100-foot monopole. This is the lowest practical height that will accommodate the needs of the carrier to address the deficiencies within the network at this location.
-122
Environmental Review: As the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has undertaken preliminary review and determined that the proposed development qualifies for a Categorical Exemption from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303- New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made to the exterior of the structure. Therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA.

The Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk following City Council approval.

Findings: Before final approval of the Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall make the following findings:

1. That the proposed location of the Conditional use is in accord with the objectives of this title and the purpose of the zone in which the site is located; and That the proposed location in which the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and A Conditional Use Permit issued under the terms of Blythe Municipal Code Title 17.68 shall lapse if no improvements to the real estate concerned have been made, and the holder of the permit shall not have utilized it within one year from the date upon which such permit shall have been granted.

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT

ABLISHED
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Save Chuck and Support for the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act.

PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended Council receive and file a report on Save Chuck and take a position of support for The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act.

FISCAL IMPACT: Impacts to the City of Blythe from the closure of Chuckawalla Valley State Prison include a revenue decline of $2.9 million.

BACKGROUND: In December 2022, the Secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) announced plans to close Chuckawalla Valley State Prison in Blythe by March 2025. The City quickly sprang into action to rally against this closure. The City began contacting State and Federal legislators and held meetings with elected officials, the CDCR Secretary, CVSP Close Down Manager and other CDCR staff members. The City submitted over 40 Public Records requests to the State seeking information related to how CVSP was selected for closure over other older and more costlier prisons in the State's system. Several of the City's requests for information were denied.

The City also went to work on solutions and proposed a swap of CVS in Blythe for the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) in Norco. This is a win-win for the Cities and State as a more cost-effective prison will be shuttered in a City that has far more resources to absorb job losses than Blythe. The City of Norco has petitioned for the closure of CRC for years. CRC has been on the State's chopping block since 2012. The State's own Legislative Analyst's report as well as other independent reports find that CRC should be the next CDCR institution to close due to a number of issues including cost to operate and safety.

In January 2023, the City hired Tripeppi Smith for PR Services and the Gonsalves & Son Firm for lobbying efforts in the State Capitol. The City has garnered support from Assemblyman Garcia, State Senators Steve Padilla and Kelly Seyarto, The Riverside County Board of Supervisors, CVAG, fellow Cities in Riverside County, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange County Sheriff's, the Riverside County District Attorney, PVID, Cal Cities, Crime Victims United, Crime Survivors, and others.

STAFF REPORT: Staff will provide an oral report on the efforts being made to "Save Chuck".

During the 66"h Annual Community Outlook Conference held on April 4, 2024, Riverside County District Attorney Michael Hestrin made a presentation on The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act. This is an effort to fix some of the issues being experienced related to retail theft and drug use from the passage of Proposition 47. Mr. Hestrin's -131
presentation stated that since the passage of Proposition 47 in 2014, retail, fuel and cargo theft has exploded, homelessness in California has increased 51% when it has decreased by 11% in the rest of the County and drug addiction has become a humanitarian crisis. The consequences of Prop 47 are impacting public safety and the quality of life for all Californians.

If passed, this Ballot Initiative they plan to qualify for the November Ballot would reclassify retail theft with 2 or more prior convictions from a misdemeanor to a felony. It would include the aggregation of multiple thefts together to reach $950 and be charged as a felony and would enhance penalties for excessive taking or damage to property and enhance penalties for acting in concert/takeover theft or destruction of property. Under this act, after two hard drug convictions, prosecutors would have discretion to charge the third hard drug possession offense as a treatment mandated felony. If treatment is refused, they would be eligible to serve jail time. They also hope to address the fentanyl crisis by going after fentanyl drug dealers.

Polling has shown that 89% of voters support changes to Proposition 47 to allow for stronger penalties for trafficking, hard drugs, or repeat offenders of retail theft. The Act is endorsed by retail businesses Associations, community organizations, Law Enforcement, and elected Officials.

The Save Chuck Campaign has highlighted the impacts to public safety from the closure of CVSP. Several Save Chuck supporters are law enforcement officials including Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and Riverside County District Attorney Michael Hestrin. The Save Chuck campaign team would like the City to take a supportive position on the Ballot Initiative and show our support for tougher sentencing guidelines for theft and drug offenses. If this ballot initiative is successful, CDCR may need to take another look at prison capacity, bed space and plans for prison closures should theft and drug offenses once again be classified as felony convictions.

[email protected]

CALIFORNIA FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES COALITION ANNOUNCE THE TURN-IN OF OVER 900,000 VOTER SIGNATURES TO QUALIFY THE HOMELESSNESS, DRUG

ADDICTION, AND THEFT REDUCTION ACT FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION RIVERSIDE - Today, the Californians for Sater Communities Coalition announced, that it will submit over 900,000 voter signatures to qualify the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act (Initiative 23-0017A1) to qualify for the November General Election ballot. To qualify the measure for the November 2024 ballot, the law requires 546,651 valid signatures.

The bipartisan measure is focused on improving safety in every community and neighborhood in California. It focuses narrowly on accountability measures for repeat offenders of theft and drug traffickers of serious drugs like fentanyl, while incentivizing and encouraging more individuals to participate in and complete drug treatment programs. The measure creates a deterrent for repeat offenders and redirects addicts towards treatment rather than incarceration.
"We must prioritize the safety of our communities. This proposed ballot measure does just that, fixing prior legislation that has harmed public safety. I am grateful for the public's support of signing ballots to qualify this essential bill onto the ballot," DA Hestrin said. "It is time for common sense reforms that holds people accountable for their criminal behavior and ensures justice for our community members."
Passed in 2014, Prop 47 achieved notable success in making California's criminal justice system more equitable. However, it led to unintended consequences over the past decade — repeat and often organized retail theft, inner-city store closings, and difficulty convincing people to seek drug and mental health treatment — that can only be corrected by the voters at the ballot box with commonsense changes to Prop 47. It is time for meaningful reforms to our justice system, including Prop 47, that ensure our communities are safe.

The proposed ballot measure will:
• Hold those who are committing repeated retail theft and fentanyl sales crimes accountable, for the safety and health of our communities. • Create accountability for repeat smash and grab offenders who are driving up costs for all Californians and chasing retailers out of the state. • Bring back incentives and accountability that are needed for individuals to get into necessary drug treatment and job training programs -- helping them begin new lives.

Currently those arrested multiple times for hard drug use currently have no incentive to choose treatment with no consequences.

COMIN'S FIND

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Options to Fill City Council Member Vacancy
PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Brittany Roberto, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council provide direction on filling the vacancy on the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.

BACKGROUND: Dale Reynolds resigned from the City Council on March 12, 2024. He was first elected to the City Council in November 2015, and was re-elected in November 2020. His term will expire when the results of the November 5, 2024 City Council election are certified.

STAFF REPORT: California Government Code section 36512 outlines the procedures and timeframe for filling a vacancy on the City Council. Section 36512(b) provides that the City Council has 60 days from the date the vacancy is created to either appoint a person to fill the position or call a special election to fill that position. Based on the date of former Council Member Reynolds' resignation, the 60-day time period for the Council to take action expires on May 11, 2024.

The Council's options for filling the vacancy are outlined below.

Option 1 - Appoint a Person to Fill the Vacancy
The appointment process would include posting applications to fill the vacancy, providing an application period for the submission of applications, Council selection of applicants to interview, Council interviews of applicants, Council appointment of a person to fill the vacancy, and administration of the oath of office for the person appointed. If the Council decides to appoint a person to fill the vacancy, the appointment would need to be made at a special meeting held no later than May 11, 2024.

If a person is appointed to fill the vacancy, they would serve as a City Council Member for the remainder of former Council Member Reynolds' unexpired term, which ends when the results of the November 5, 2024 election are certified. If a person is appointed, they would be able to run for a full term on the City Council at the November 2024 general election. -135
Option 2 -Call a Special Election to Fill the Vacancy/Leave the Seat Vacant until November 2024 Election
If the Council decides to fill the vacancy by calling a special election, the special election must be held on the next regularly scheduled election date not less than 114 days from the call of the special election pursuant to California Government Code section 36512(b)(1). The next regularly scheduled election date that is at least 114 days after calling the election would be the November 5, 2024 general election. That is also the date of the election to fill the next term of former Council Member Reynolds' seat. Therefore, the effect of choosing this option would be to leave the seat vacant until the winners of the November 5, 2024 election take office in December.

Staff is requesting that the Council provide direction on which option it desires to pursue.

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
TASTISHED 19
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Beautify Blythe Project - Award of Bid Packages I-IV PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: To complete the Beautify Blythe Project, it is recommended Council:

1. Award an agreement to AZCA Drilling & Pump, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $825,579 for Package I - Transit Center/Bus Stops/Solar Lights.

2. Award an agreement to AZCA Drilling & Pump, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $525,012.50 for Package II - Miller Park.

Award an agreement to James Burrow DBA Burrow Construction in an amount not to exceed $582,102 for Package III - Public Works Yard.

4. Award an agreement to Ace Electric, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $335,000 for Package IV - Miller Park Ballfield Lighting.

5. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute agreements for Packages 1-IV once all bonds and contract documents are approved as to form by the City Attorney.

6. Authorize an additional $227,000 for contingencies.

7. Authorize an additional $15,000 for plan reviews and inspection services.

8. Establish a project budget not to exceed $2,509,693.50.

9. Authorize the Interim City Manager to approve and execute change orders and approve expenditures for engineering and project inspection services during construction within the approved project budget.

FISCAL IMPACT: $2,509,693.50 from the Beautify Blythe Clean California Grant Program.

Project inspection and plan review services for City related items will be covered by Public Works Department funding. Any change orders during construction for City related items that cannot be covered by Beautify Blythe Grant funding will be funded by the Public Works Department budget.

BACKGROUND: The City of Blythe, in partnership with the Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency, received $2,922,991 in Clean CA grant funding for the Beautify Blythe project. The • project proposes to improve existing conditions at several key City & Transit facilities, including placement of twenty-four (24) bus stops with trash receptacles across three (3) underserved census tracts, a decorative wall and perimeter solar lighting at the City's Public Works Yard, a public access restroom at Transit's CNG Station, landscaping, parking lot improvements and solar lighting at Miller Park, and an outdoor pubic space for community engagement, iron fencing, decorative security fencing and solar lighting at the PVVTA Operations Facility and Main Street Park n' Ride facility.

In addition to the infrastructure improvements, the project includes community engagement, -139
clean up events and ribbon cuttings. To date, clean up events have resulted in the removal of over 120 cubic yards of litter and debris from our community.

In December, the City released a Request for Proposals for the Solar Powered Outdoor Lighting Systems and Bus Shelters for the Beautify Blythe Project. Both products required substantial lead times for manufacturing and delivery. The intent was to have the material manufactured while the City solicited bids for construction of the project. Once a contract for the project was awarded, the materials would be available, and the contractor could go to work. This was also an attempt to streamline the project as work on the grant was required to be completed by June 30, 2024. In March, staff was provided a six month extension to deliver the project. All work on the project must now be completed prior to December 31, 2024.

STAFF REPORT: In February, the City released notice inviting bids to construct the Beautify Blythe Project. The thought behind this was to provide economies of scale in one large project to save on items such as mobilization costs associated with various contractors working on segments of the project. The bid opening was held on February 29, 2024 and no bids were received. Due to concerns expressed by contractors during the bid process related to the time for delivery and size of the project, the City's design firm provided updated bid documents. This included four projects: Transit Center/Bus Stops/Solar Lighting, Miller Park, Public Works Yard, and Miller Park Ballfield Lighting. In March, the City released another notice inviting bids for each of the four projects/packages for the Beautify Blythe Project.

On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, the City held a bid opening for the Beautify Blythe Project Packages I-IV and the following bids were received:

Package I - Transit Center/Bus Stops/Solar Lights
AZCA Drilling and Pump $825,579
Package II - Miller Park
AZCA Drilling and Pump $525,012.50
Package III - Public Works Yard
Burrow Construction $582,102.00
Package IV - Miller Park Ballfield Lighting
Cyle Johnson Electric $430,000
Ace Electric, Inc. $335,000
Apart from Ace Electric, Inc., the contractors are local and have previously performed work for the City. AZCA Drilling and Pump has routinely performed work on the City's water system and was recently awarded the construction of the PV College Reservoir project. Burrow Construction has built several restroom facilities and shade structures in various City parks. Ace Electric, Inc.'s references were checked and was determined to be the responsive and responsible bidder for Package IV - Miller Park Ballfield Lighting. All contractors have licenses in good standing with the State of California.

To date, $588,915.83 in grant funding has been allocated for cleanup efforts, art elements required of the grant, project design and engineering, and the purchase of 24 bus shelters and solar lighting. The four bids received for construction total $2,267,693.50. This leaves roughly $60,000 in grant funds for contingencies. It is standard to allocate 10% of project costs for contingencies to address unforeseen issues and costs that arise during construction. As 10% is $227,000, additional funding may be required to complete the project. Although staff does not -140
anticipate the need to authorize change orders during construction, potential issues may not be identified until construction begins. City staff and PVVTA have discussed the need to assume the cost of any contingencies throughout construction that cannot be covered by the Beautify Blythe grant funding. The City would cover any change orders for City related items and PVVTA would be responsible for any change orders for Transit related items. The City will obtain PVVTA's concurrence prior to authorizing any changes orders for Transit related items.

The City and PVVTA will also share the costs for plan review, project inspection, agreement preparation and document review.

In order to complete the Beautify Blythe Project, it is recommended Council award agreements to AZCA Drilling & Pump, Inc., James Burrow DBA Burrow Construction and Ace Electric, Inc. for Packages I-IV; authorize the Interim City Manager to execute agreements for Packages 1-IV once all bonds and contract documents are approved as to form by the City Attorney; authorize an additional $227,000 for contingencies; authorize an additional $15,000 for plan reviews and inspection services; establish a project budget not to exceed $2,509,693.50; and authorize the Interim City Manager to approve and execute change orders and approve expenditures for engineering and project inspection services during construction within the approved project budget.

ORITA'S FIRST

SUNRISE CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Request by WattEV to Waive Certain Project Conditions Related to the WattEV Truck Charging Station, Solar Filed and Energy Storage Facility Project.

PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.

BACKGROUND: Faramarz Yousefzadeh, Co-founder of WattEV is proposing to develop an electric truck and vehicle charging station located and designed to serve primarily pass-by traffic on Interstate 10. The project includes a solar generation field on the southern parcel, and a set of 10 natural gas generators as backup power when insufficient electricity is available from the local power grid. The site is located in the southeast portion of the City of Blythe. The northern parcel on which the EV charging station will be located is 23.31 acres in size and is more specifically described as APN 857-210-019. The central parcel which is excluded from development is 25.46 acres in size and is more specifically described as APN 857-210-012. The southern parcel on which the solar field will be located is 78.48 acres in size and is more specifically described as APN 869- 210-012. The three parcels total 127.25. acres. This site is directly west of the Casa Encinas apartment complex. The EV charging station will have forty-six (46) passenger vehicle charging stations and seventy-two (72) truck charging stations. The project also includes development of a lounge and convenience store with restrooms and an administrative office. The station will be operated by a staff of three employees per shift with three shifts per day for a total of nine employees over a 24-hour period.

The project has received planning entitlements including PRC Conditions and Site Plan approval.

The City Council adopted a Notice of Exemption for the project to comply with CEQA in November 2023. Project applicants have submitted grading plans, and the project is near shovel ready.

In 2023, the City partnered with WattEV to submit a $19.6 million grant application to the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Program (CFI) through the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. In January, staff learned that the application was successful. $622.57 million in grant funding was awarded to 47 applicants nationwide to strategically deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in the place people live and work. The 47 awards are located across 22 States, Puerto Rico and include two Tribes. We have since learned that our award of $19.6 was one of the largest individual awards. The grant application -142
included letters of support from our elected representatives, Caltrans and ADOT. The grant required a public/private partnership with the City being the grant applicant, and WattEV tasked with developing the charging infrastructure per the terms of the grant.

STAFF REPORT: In 2022, WattEV submitted a request for project conditions to construct a truck charging station on three vacant parcels on E. Donlon Street. The Zoning Code does not contemplate the installation of electric vehicle charging stations. As the services provided are consistent with service stations, or gas and diesel fueling or service stations, the project was conditioned using the guidelines for a service station. This allowed the project to be constructed by right, in a General Commercial Zone which is the zoning designation for their property. During the PRC process, staff conditioned the project in the normal fashion, which included the undergrounding of utilities which is required to be done before a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Per section 17.50.140- Underground Utilities, utilities to all service-stations, including signs shall be underground. It has been standard practice for many years for the City to require new development to underground utilities as a design condition.

WattEV asked staff to overhead their electrical utility lines, a request that staff denied. They are now requesting that the Council consider their request to overhead the electrical utilities. Reasons for the need to overhead the lines include timing of switch gear needed to underground and the high- pressure gas line that runs though one parcel of the project site. They will need to cross this line at one section. There are also fiber optic lines running across the property they would need to cross at one section.

Although staff does not believe the high-pressure gas line will create the need to underground, staff has reached out to SoCalGas and hopes to have more information available at the meeting. WattEV states supply chain issues for pad mounted medium voltage switch gear needed for ground services would cause a one-year delay. Over the last few weeks, City and WattEV staff have been working towards an executed grant agreement to spend the CF1 grant funds. The grant agreement must be executed before costs are incurred on the project. Before we can execute the agreement, funds must be programmed through RCTC and SCAG. In speaking with RCTC and SCAG staff last week, it could take 13 months to have the funds programs, Right of Way Certificates and NEAP certification from Caltrans. From there, staff anticipates a few more months for FHWA to finalize the grant agreement. As temporary power is supplied for construction and the project is not energized until the end, a one-year lead time does not seem to warrant the need to underground the electrical utilities. We are quite possibly over a year out before we can expend grant funds and start construction. If the switch gear were ordered now, it would arrive as construction begins. Due to these reasons, staff cannot support the request to overhead the electrical utility lines for this project.

This would set a precedence for future projects and undermine the City's ability to require project o underground utility lines for aesthetics and operational purposes ATTACHMENTS: None
