MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURES AND FINDING

PUBLIC HEARING:

Blythe Crown Logistics Center Project- Categorial Exemption Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning. Interim City Manager Crecelius stated this is an exciting project for the City of Blythe. The Blythe Crown Logistics Center Project is a 100-door logistics facility with supporting office, tractor and trailer parking, and a repair shop with two fuel lanes for on-site vehicle fueling. The building would total 75,000 square-feet with 3,600 square-feet of office space, a 61,200 square-feet logistics -39-
floor area and a 10,200 square-feet area for truck maintenance. The truck logistics center will have approximately 50 workers and 94 truck loading docks. The purpose of a logistics center is to provide warehouse space designed to receive and distribute a variety of inventory strategically across various locations, streamline the picking and packing process, and have inventory shipped to another location or to an end use. Logistics operations are designed to improve the regional efficiency of the transport and delivery of a wide variety of goods. The Proposed Blythe Logistics Facility is located to serve the existing truck transport companies already travelling Interstate 10 with a goal to minimize truck travel distances regionally. Site operations would be consistent with the City's General Plan and zoning land use designation. Surrounding land uses include agricultural lands and outdoor trailer storage north of Hobsonway, I-10 to the south and a solar energy generation facility to the west. Current uses to the east include several single-story single-family residences. Regional access is provided by I-10 via the Neighbors Boulevard Offramp and State Route 78. The Site is located outside of critical habitat and outside of other lands targeted for conservation under the Lower Colorado River Multiple Species Conservation Plan or other regional plans. The City, as the lead agency under CEQA, has reviewed the Blythe Logistics Facility Project for compliance with CEQA and determined that the project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning. The CEQA Exemption Environmental Review Report supplements the City's General Plan EIR and evaluates and discloses to the public and decision makers the potential site-specific environmental effects of the project, and evaluation of environmental factors that would qualify as exceptions to the exemption and identifies the uniformly applied development standards and mitigation measures applicable to the project. The proposed Blythe Logistics Center is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning and general plan policies. An EIR documenting an environmental assessment of those policies was certified at the time the General Plan was adopted. Therefore, this environmental report is limited to examination of project- specific effects peculiar to the project or its site. It has been determined that these project specific and site-specific potential effects can by substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards. Based on the analyses presented in the CEQA Review Report, the City concluded the project does not require additional environmental review pursuant to CEQA Statue (Public Resources Code [PRC] Sections 21000 et. seq.); and the 2024 State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 et. seq.)s as of January 1, 2024. Therefore, it is recommended that Council tind that the Blythe Logistics Center Project at 15500 Hobsonway in Blythe is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption for the project with the County Clerk.

No Public Comment. Councilman Burton moved approval of staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Rodriguez with a unanimous aye vote. 2025-2026 Urban County Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG).

Interim City Manager Crecelius stated the City of Blythe receives a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation each year. CDBG funding can be used for a wide variety of community, economic and social development activities. Cooperating cities such as Blythe, are eligible to fund public service projects with up to 15% of the City's allocation. All activities funded by CDBG must serve persons or communities within the County's Urban County area, be -40-
an eligible activity under CDBG regulations and meet a national objective of the CDBG Program. The City's CDBG allocation for Fiscal Year 2025/26 is estimated to be $81,000t. Of the allocation, 15% of funding, which is $12,150, is available to fund public service activities.

Pursuant to CDBG program guidelines, staff advertised in a newspaper of general circulation for interested applicants; posted the notice and CDBG application on the City's website, newsletter and social media, and noticed this public hearing for allocation of CDBG funds. The City did not receive any applications for public service activities. CDGB funds have historically been used to improve City parks. Past projects include restroom improvements in Miller, Appleby and Todd Parks, playground equipment in Miller Park and Appleby Parks, the Splash Pad in Todd Park, Community Center upgrades and installation of shade structures at Quechan and Engvik Parks.

The 2024/25 allocation was used for the Home Enhancement Program. This program provides exterior home improvements such as: roofs, doors, windows, and fencing. The funds are allocated one time per property. After the work is complete, the owner must remain in the home for 5 years, or the cost of the home enhancements would be repaid by the homeowner. This program is provided in cooperation with Riverside County. The County works with city staff to identify potential properties. The County conducts assessments and works with qualified homeowners and hires local contractors to perform the work. Construction on the first five homes identified for funding were completed earlier this year. With current funding, the City anticipates completing thirteen to seventeen home projects. The Home Enhancement Program is in line with the goals of the City's Housing Element. The City has adequate housing stock; however, some of the housing stock is considered blighted or sub-standard. A recent count by Development Services staff, as required for the Housing Element, identified 104 homes in need of rehabilitation or replacement. This program would help beautify neighborhoods and keep low- income persons in their homes. Staff would like to continue the work started with the Home Enhancement Program and allocate the 2025/26 allocation to the rehabilitation of the City's housing stock. The County of Riverside initiated the preparation of the County's Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This plan is designed to assist the County and its cooperating cities in assessing community needs. The City is required to provide a summary of the City's 2024-2029 Consolidated Plan community needs assessment and outreach efforts such as public notices, social media, community meetings, surveys and provide the City's five-year funding priorities.

Based on survey results, residents were most concerned with the condition of City streets and sidewalks, community cleanliness, safety and security, water and sewer infrastructure and parks and landscaped areas. Based on the results of this survey, it is recommended Council set the City's five-year HUD-CPD funding priorities as Housing Rehabilitation through the Home Enhancement Program, Park Improvements, Street and Sidewalk Improvements and Water and Sewer System Improvements. Therefore, subsequent to the public hearing, it is recommended Council apply the $81,000 CDBG Allocation for 2025-2026 to the City's Home Enhancement Program, authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the supplemental agreement, along with any subsequent agreements with Riverside County for the allocation of the 2025-2026 CDBG Funds, authorize the City Manager to reprogram funds as required; and approve the City's five- year HUD-CPD funding priorities.

No Public Comment. Vice Mayor Rodriguez moved approval of staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Burton with a unanimous aye vote. -41-
Ordinance No. 934-24, Amending Title 17 of the Blythe Municipal Code (BMC) Relating to Changes Required by the City's 6* Cycle Housing Element Programs for Emergency Shelter, Employee Housing and Reasonable Accommodation Procedures.

Interim City Manager Crecelius stated On August 13, 2024, the City Council adopted the City's 6th Cycle Housing Element for the 2021-2029 period. The Housing Element was officially approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development on August 29, 2024. As part of the Housing Element, the City committed to programs which require changes to the City's Zoning Code, which is set forth in Title 17 of the Blythe Municipal Code. Proposed Ordinance No. 934-24 implements changes outlined in Programs 2.D.3, 2.D.4 and 2.D.5 of the Housing Element. In program 2.D.3 the City committed to amend the Zoning Code to expand the definition of emergency shelters per Assembly Bill 2339 to include interim housing options such as navigation centers, bridge housing and respite and recuperative care and amend parking standards for emergency shelters to be based solely on staffing pursuant to Assembly Bill 139.

To implement this program, the proposed ordinance amends the definition of Emergency Shelters and amends parking requirements for emergency shelters. In program 2.D.4 the city committed to amend the Zoning Code to comply with the Employee Housing Act which requires jurisdictions to deem employee housing providing accommodations for six or fewer employees a residential use subject to the same standards as single-family residences. To implement this program, the proposed ordinance adds a new definition for "employee Housing" to the zoning code and amends the table set forth in Section 17.08.010 of the Zoning Code to reflect that employee housing is permitted in all zones that permit residential use. In Program 2.D.5 the city committed to amending Chapter 17.84, Reasonable Accommodation Procedures of the Zoning code to remove the finding for approval relating to "potential impact on surrounding uses," as such finding was considered subjective. To implement this program, the proposed ordinance removes this finding. The proposed ordinance also includes a comprehensive update to Chapter

17.84. Additional amendments to the Zoning Code are required by other programs of the Housing Element. Staff will present those proposed amendments to the Council at a future meeting. Therefore, it is recommended the City Council, acting as the City's Planning Agency, conduct a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance No. 934-24.

No Public Comment. Vice Mayor Rodriguez moved approval of staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Burton with a unanimous aye vote.

ORDINANCE NO. 934-24. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BLYTHE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE BLYTHE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO CHANGES REQUIRED BY THE CITY'S 6TH CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAMS FOR EMERGENCY SHELTERS, EMPLOYEE HOUSING,

AND REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION PROCEDURES 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).

CONTINUED BUSINESS:

Save Chuck Summary. Interim City Manager Crecelius presented a presentation prepared by Tripepi Smith, the City's Communications and Marketing consultants on all efforts taken during the campaign to "Save Chuck".

Mayor DeConinck stated a lot of work went into this. I just wish we'd had better results. We did make a trip to Sacramento, but once their mind was made up, it was made up. We proved they could save taxpayer money by keeping Chuckawalla open and closing CRC in Norco as it costs a -42-
fortune to operate. But nobody wanted to listen, I guess the State does not care about saving taxpayers money. Now we are working to find something for that facility to get the State to put something there.

Councilman Halby stated Prop 36 passed, it could be a helpful tool. I have a contact who met with the Secretary of CDCR. It was reported they are not looking to close any more prisons, not conduce erion. They wil and yardas ed a on of ties amos think they to closures are ho happened here. I also met with State Senator Padilla. He asked me what can I do for Blythe. He admitted the State had wronged us and he was not pleased with it.

No public comment. The item was received and filed.

NEW BUSINESS:

Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity- Blythe Mini Mart. Interim City Manager Crecelius stated Blythe Mini Market located at 945 E. Hobsonway is seeking a Type 20 license for the sale of beer and wine in various packaging platforms. The new operator aims to continue offering beer and wine sales, as the previous operator did, restoring the full range of services the community is accustomed to at this location. The Business and Professions Code requires a letter from the City Council specifically addressing the over concentration issue, and the justification for issuance of the license. The proposed license site is located within Census Tract No. 461.01 which currently has three (3) active off-sale licenses with one license currently allowed in the census tract. The awarded licenses are issued to a convenience store, grocery store and discount goods store. The issuance of a Type 20 license for Blythe Mini Market will serve a public convenience and necessity by providing residents with a convenient location to purchase beer and wine. A location they were accustomed to, as the site previously held an Of Sale License until the store closed in late 2022. The new owners are serving a public necessity by re- opening an amenity previously available to residents of that neighborhood. This will eliminate the need for patrons to travel further to obtain desired products. A Type 20 license will re- establish this location as a one stop shop, reducing the need for customers to make additional trips for desired goods. Therefore, it is recommended Council approve a letter supporting the issuance of an Off-Sale (Type 20- Retail) Alcoholic Beverage License within Census Tract No. 461.01 to Blythe Mini Mart located at 945 E. Hobsonway in Blythe, with the full knowledge of the undue concentration provision as outlined by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC).

No Public Comment. Vice Mayor Rodriguez moved approval of staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Burton with a unanimous aye vote.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Carol Bennett, a resident of Ranch Ventana inquired about the Blythe Municipal Golf Course.

Councilman Halby reported on BCRC's Steps for the Cure and asked candidates to remove their campaign signs.

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Grant Agreement with U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration for City of Blythe WattEV I-10 Charging Terminal Project and Memorandum of Understanding with WattEV PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Brittany Roberto, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended Council:

1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute all grant documents required to accept the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant, including, but not limited to, the grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, including any amendments to such documents, once approved by the City Attorney, and to accept and administer the grant.

2. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with WattEV outlining each party's obligations in connection with the grant and project, including, but not limited to, WattEV's contribution of $6,781,453.

FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Blythe WattEV I-10 Charging Terminal project will be funded by $16.6 million in grant funds awarded to the City of this join project and with funds from WattEV. The City will not be contributing any funds to the project. The City may be reimbursed up to $111,700 for staff time associated with administration of the grant.

BACKGROUND: In April 2023, WattEV made the City aware of a grant opportunity through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program, which provides federal funding for entities to strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, propane fueling infrastructure and natural gas fueling infrastructure in certain locations accessible to drivers. Only governmental entities are eligible to apply for the grant.

WattEV proposed to partner with the City to submit a grant application to fund their proposed EV charging station project. The scope of work of the project includes installation of 30 combined charging standard direct current fast chargers for heavy-duty vehicles, installation of six (6) megawatt charging standard chargers for heavy-duty vehicles, and installation of 30 combined charging standard fast chargers for light-duty vehicles. The project is located on three vacant parcels on East Donlon Street immediately west of the Casa Encinas Apartment complex.

In April 2023, the City Council authorized the Interim City Manager to submit a grant application for the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration Fiscal Year 2022/2023 CFI Discretionary Grant Program in partnership with WattEV.

WattEV prepared the grant application and will construct the project. City staff expects its -62-
involvement in the project to be limited to submitting required documents and reports to the Federal Highway Administration. The project budget includes $111,700 for City staff time.

In June 2023, the City submitted the application prepared by WattEV for the City of Blythe WattEV I-10 Truck Charging Terminal project to the U.S. Department of Transportation, requesting $19,635,156 in federal funding, with an additional $6,781.453 being provided in match funding. In February 2024, the City learned that the U.S. Department of Transportation had awarded the grant in the amount requested.

STAFF REPORT: To accept the grant, the City is required to enter into a grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. A draft of the grant agreement is attached to this report. Pursuant to the agreement, the federal share for the project is $19,635,156 and the recipient (City) share is $6,781,453, for a total of $26,416,609.

The grant application outlines WattEV's contribution of the recipient/match share for the project. In November 2024, WattEV submitted a letter to the City committing to providing the match funding/recipient share for the project in the amount of $6,781,453.

Staff believes it is appropriate to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with WattEV to memorialize the City's and WattEV's respective obligations in connection with the grant and the project, including, but not limited to, WattEV's contribution of $6,781,453.

Therefore, staff recommends that the Council authorize the Interim City Manager to execute all grant documents required to accept the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant, including, but not limited to, the grant agreement with the U.S.

Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, including any amendments to such documents, once approved by the City Attorney, and to accept and administer the grant.

Staff also recommends that the Council authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with WattEV outlining each party's obligations in connection with the grant and project, including, but not limited to, WattEV's contribution of $6,781,453.

Planned Construction Substantial Completion, and
Open to Traffic Date: Q1 2025 Q1 2026
Budget:

The City of Blythe proposes reducing the total project budget by $55 due to two changes to the project budget. These changes do not impact the scope or proposed project implementation. The proposed amendments to the budget are intended to align the project budget with the actual personnel costs for the City and project subcontractor, TRC..

In TRC's original budget was determined using a % of the total project cost. There is no way to get perfectly align the total budget derived from the % with a budget using TRC's Direct Labor, Fringe, and Indirect rates. TRC broke down the budget using the different personnel rates and developed a budget that was $99 short of the original budget total.

The outstanding $99 was reallocated to WattEV's equipment budget to keep the budget sheet balanced
• There was also an error in the City of Blythe's budget. The 10% de minimis indirect rate should have been $11,170 instead of $11,770 based on the Direct Labor base of $111,170. To balance out the additional $600 from the total amount awarded 9 hours were added to the City's Department Assistant labor category to get the City's total budget closer to the award total. The total budget is $55 lower than the award from the FHWA.

The table below provides a summary comparison of the Project budget.

Supporting Narrative.

The Project directly supports a Local/Regional/State Climate Action Plan that results in lower greenhouse gas emissions. (Identify the plan in the supporting narrative below.) The ITCT project was not developed to specifically address or support any local, regional, or state Climate Action Plan. However, the project implements strategies identified in Riverside County's Climate Action Plan (CAP) to reduce regional GHG emissions. By transitioning towards electric vehicles (EVs) and phasing out conventional fueling methods, the project essentially catalyzes a significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a cornerstone objective of the CAP. By embracing EV technology, ITCT contributes to a marked 16 of 30

improvement in local air quality, effectively mitigating the adverse effects of diesel particulate matter and other pollutants typically associated with traditional combustion engines. This approach not only adresses the primary focus of the CAP—reducing GHG emissions but also serves to enhance environmental quality by curbing noise pollution, an often overlooked yet pervasive issue linked to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. ITCTs strategic deployment of EVSE underscores the CAP's commitment to fostering sustainable transportation practices. By promoting the adoption of zero-emission (LE) vehicles, the initiative not only achieves tangible GHG emission reductions but also fosters a more harmonious and livable community environment. ITCT's drive to integrate EVSE not only fulfills the emission reduction targets imposed in the CAP but also aligns with its comprehensive mission of promoting sustainability and enhancing the overall quality of life within the County.

I-10 is also categorized as a high priority freight corridor. As the state continues to lead the way in the deployment of clean goods movement technologies, legislation like Senate Bill 671 (SB671) requires the California Transportation Commission (CTC) tò develop a Clean Freight Corridor Efficiency Assessment to identify corridors and projects that will support the transition to zero-emission freight. The CTC, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the California Energy Commission, Caltrans, the Goyernor's Office of Business and Economic Development, and the Senate Bill 671 Workgroup, have identified the top six freight corridor to be built out with ZE technology: I-5, I-10, I-15, 1- 40, 1-80, and SR 99, depicted ın Figure 2. For this reason, Caltrans has ręcognized the merits of the ITCT project and issued a letter of support to the City.

The Recipient or a project partner used environmental justice tools, such as the EJSCREEN, to minimize adverse impacts of the Project on environmental justice communities. (Identify the tool(s) in the supporting narrative below.) The proposed ITCT project site is in census tráct 06065047000, which is classified as a disadvậntaged community based on the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST).

The project site meets more than one burden threshold and the associated economic threshold (Figure 1), which includes:
•. Ranking in the 82nd percèntile for low income, which is defined as people in households where income is less than or equal to twice the federal poverty level; • Ranking in the 90th percentile for unemployment, which is defined as the number of unemployed people as a part of the labor force,
• Ranking in the 20th percentile for high school education, which is defined as the percent of peoplè ages 25 years or older whose high school education is less than a high school diploma.

Other factors that contribute to this disadvantaged classification include community threats from anticipated changes in extreme weather, prevalence of asthma and cancer, limited transportation access, and transportation cost burden. WattEV and the City expect ITCT to improve a number of health and socio-economic factors which currently burden the City's various communities, through workforce development programs, the creation of direct long-term jobs in the emerging 17 of 30

Figure I: Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool for ATCT's Census Tract 0606504700 The Project supports a modal shift in freight or passenger movement to reduce emissions or reduce induced travel demand.

The I-10 corridor is à critical goods movement corridor that connects the Southern United States and provides unmatched, utility to California and Arizona. This heavy freight traffic is primed for electrification, and the ITCT project site will spearhead the ZE movement of goods within this two-state region, providing environmental and health benefits for the communities along the corridor. Furthermore, WattEV's ITCT site will also serve as a major connection point between distribution hubs. A barrier to EV adoption within the HDBEV space is charging availability between key distribution points. This project will directly provide a solution to these challenges - connecting local and national alternative fuel corridors, providing more optionality for route planners and fleets, and expanding existing infrastructure.

WattEV envisions a future in which a range of vehicle-types, varying in size and function, will utilize this charging station network. To further that goal, WattEV has partnered with Uber Freight, a leading logistics platform for shippers and carriers, to leverage the Uber Freight digital freight network to connect shippers to WattEV's electric heavy-duty transportation platform.

This platform is an intelligently designed, comprehensively managed transportation network that will optimize every aspect of supply chain and logistics processes. (11) The Project incorporates electrification infrastructure, zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, or both.

• 6 megawatt charging standard chargers for heavy duty vehicles, • 30 CCS direct current fast chargers for light-duty vehicles. • 2.75 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Solar array with 4.2 (MWac) capacity.

The Project promotes energy efficiency.

WattEV plans to maximize efficiency, energy supply, and consumption. WattEV will produce and use solar energy as much as possible, avoid peak-hour charging on the grid, maximize miles driven to increase utilization and carbon credits, match freight on predefined routes to allow increased utilization, minimize downtime for charging, and use technology and telematics to improve efficiency and reduce cost.

The project team has developed performance metrics related to efficiency of the solar and storage coupling; charger availability; on-time completion of charge sessions; electricity cost reductions; and grid consumption reductions. For solar and storage coupling, the expectation is to meet current performance of 90% efficiency. This efficiency is specifically referencing the amount of energy cared over from solar PV cells to the coupled BESS and not the energy generated from the sup to electricity via the panels. For charger operational availability, the project team proposes to increase the current 90% standard to 95% in large part due to early and committed partnerships from vehicle manufacturers to conduct product testing.

The Project serves the renewable energy supply chain.

In addition tò traditional zero-emission infrastructure, the ITCT will deploy an advanced, high powered public charging station and associated facilities powered by a 4.2 megawatt of alternating current (MWac) capacity renewable solar generation field, with nameplate power of

5.2 MW, on 10 acres of total property size. In future phases, the solar array will be scaled up in line with projected demand to a 50-acre photovoltaic array with an output of 21 MWac and 26 MW nameplate power. ITCT will also install six (6) MCS "1X5" 1,200-kW charger configurations in the truck charging areas. The ITCT project will benefit multiple aspects of the renewable energy supply chain, from renewable energy generation to supply.

The Project improves disaster preparedness and resiliency In the near term, WattEV will seek to further support local utilities and their individual grid capabilities to engineer a more robust charging ecosystem and further protect the local community during demand peaks. This will include the inclusion of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and 19 of 30

more broadly, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies at WattEV sites to enhance grid resiliency. By introducing bi-directional capabilities, WattEV sites like the one being proposed in the I!CT project will ofter a constant level of security, redundancy, and availability for customers who might be leveraging their chargers in the event of extreme demand or weather scenarios.

In addition to leveraging utility connections at the sites, BESS and on-site generation technologies will be integrated to alleviate and stabilize charging sites during extreme events.

Project operations will be supported by a 2.75 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) and solar array that will produce 4.2 megawatt of alternating currént (MWac). These additional measures taken by WattEV to maintain continuous operations will mitigate the risks created by demand spikes, power outages, and disruptive weather.

This resiliency is an important factor for a commúnity like Blythe, which has a high climate and ısaster rısk burden in the category ot antıcipated changes in extreme weather according to th ISDOT Equitable Transportation Community Explorer (screenshot provided below fo reference.

The Project avoids adverse environmental impacts to air or water quality, wetlands, and endangered species, such as through reduction in Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases, improved stormwater management, or improved habitat connectivity. (Describe how in the supporting narrative below.)
On March 2, 2023, WattEV began technical studies to support preparation of an environmental assessment to complete an Exemption Report per the CE tion 151 1. In compliance with CEQA requirements, WattEV prepared an Environmental Planning Report to submit the required evidence in the record and support their findings for a 15183 exemption, since the proposed project did not require preparation of a more comprehensive Initial study or Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and did not qualify for a Mitigated Negative Declaration of No Impact. The City, in its role as the State lead agency, issued a final determination finding of Categorically Exempt based on the evidence presented in the Environmental Planning Report.

On November 11, 2022, WattEV received its completed geotechnical report that the company requested describing Landmark Consultants, Inç. soil engineering site evaluation with professional opinions regarding geotechnical conditions at the site to be considered in the design and construction of the project. WattEV will be responsiblé for ensuring that all parties including designer, contractor, and subcontractor are made aware of this entire report within a reasonable time from its issuance.

Using outputs from the AFLEET 2020 tool, described below, at the end of five years, the ITCT project will have avoided 43,244.5 short tons of GHGs, 102;337 barrels of fuel, and 2,004.5 short tons of GHGs, among other benefits using conservative estimates for weekly utilization. As EV adoption begins to scale up, WattEV expects the benefits derived from the ITCT project to improve significantly.

These ITCT project benefits are even more critical in context of the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) CalEnviroScreen 4.0 screening methodology for Blythe, showing that the surrounding area is disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution (Figure 3)., Census tract 6065047000 (ITCT project location) and the neighboring census tract 6065046200 rank between the 64th and 92nd percentile in!

The AFLEET tool bases its calculations on gasoline usage for light duty applications, which is appropriate to estimate the emissions and benefits for passenger CCS chargers, but not for heavy duty. Likewise, certain parameters were slightly adjusted in the model to accommodate more accurate emissions values for heavy duty applications. The Fúel Use parameter was modified to reference a Baseline Diesel MPG value of 6.78 mpg as indicated in the Background tab and the Lower Heating Value (LHV) of the 'fuel was adjusted accordingly for that of Low-sulfur diesel.

Since most HD vehicles operate on Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel, this was chosen as the baseline for calculating the emissions bènefits. EV-Lite Cycle emissions contribution were calculated based on kWh of total annual usage, and thus; the electricity per kWh Lower Heating Value was used as indiéated in the background tab under Fuel Specifications. EV Life Cycle emissions were subtracted from the Fuel Use Lifé Cycle emissions of baseline diesel to obtain the Fuel Use benefits in barrels of diesel fuel. For baseline emissions benetit calculations, similar adjustments were made to reference diesel fuel instead of gasoline in the case of heavy-duty CCS or MCS chargers.

Electrification of fleets has largely been inaccessible to disadvantaged fleet operators and resources for electrification are often difficult to attain for these operators due to significant cost barriers and operational learning curves. Additionally, small fleet operators often do not have the capacity to research and seek out the funding available from state, federal, or public agencies to support the adoption of electric vehicle technologies. Fleet operation is a time consuming and taxing job, and it is rare for small fleets to manage both their fleets and research available funding opportunities.

Even when fleets have the financial resources to invest in the transition to ZE trucks, integrating electric trucks into business operations is a daunting task that requires trial and error. The duty cycles of electric trucks are very different from diesel and natural gas vehicles. Electric vehicles require significantly more downtime to charge in comparison to the time it takes to refuel trucks with internal combustion engines. When trucks that would otherwise be working and earning revenue require downtime it cuts into the profit margins of small fleets. 24 of 30

These challenges are all highly impactful to small fleet operators and prevent them from deploying electric vehicles. The ITCT project helps mitigate these barriers by providing the following support:
• Provides access to the ITCT project site for their operations. Plus, they will gain access to the rest of the larger WattEV HDBEV charging network • Allows a quick and diesel-like fueling experience through MCS—-allowing then to get the maximum power that their vehicles can take while also enabling them to get back on the road quickly to complete their shifts.
• Provides easy access to the mobile application to book reservations and see charging status.
• Provides onsite amenities to allow for rest and refreshment. • Flow through public funding and credits to help bring down the cost of charging to a diesel comparable experience.

Through the TaaS program, WattEV is lowering the point of entry for small fleets and lone operators to access HDBEVs thereby allowing them to participate in the transition to EVs.

WattEV Will host training sessions to get vehicle operators accustomed to the chargers and charging methods. There will be an'on-call site technician available to troubleshoot any technical issues. The training and on-call technician support will maximize charger utilization and uptime and minimize downtime due to any human or charger errors.

The physical presence of this large facility in a highly visible region will announce the arrival of clean transportation an a way that other communications cannot hope to achieve. This should induce indirect job creation and the development of third-party amenities in the surrounding community. According to the Economic Policy Institute, there are ties from any employment to the indirect jobs that support the industry where employment can be gained through multipliers, or ripplereffects. For each direct position, there are other industries that act as supplier sectors that also receive employment increases. Direct employment and supplier employment results in induced employment of other industries, which are generally regional services where wages are spent (i.e., food, medical, or public sector services). This project has the potential to bring a significant number of both highly technical jobs and jobs to support the new and growing industry.

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEEȚING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Continued Participation in the Post-Release Accountability and Compliance Team
PRESENTED BY: Garth V. Dale, Chief of Police
PREPARED BY: Garth V. Dale, Chief of Police, Interim City Manager Mallory Crecelius, City Attorney Roberto and Finance Director Elms RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Post-Release Accountability and Compliance Team (PACT), and any future MOUs or amendments to the MOUs, for continued participation in the PACT through June 30, 2028, once reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

2. Approve the purchase of up to two (2) pursuit vehicles in an amount not to exceed $158,241, $153,241 to purchase and upfit vehicle(s), with $5,000 in contingency, once the 2024-2025 MOU for PACT is fully executed, and purchase(s) approved by PACT; authorize issuance of purchase order(s) in an amount not to exceed $117,402 to Elk Grove Auto for the Dodge Durango Pursuit vehicle(s) and purchase order(s) in an amount not to exceed $35,839 to Innovative Emergency Equipment to upfit the vehicle(s). Further authorize the City Manager to make minor amendments to purchasing contracts in an amount not exceeding $5,000.

3. Approve an additional Police Officer position in the funded position listing in the FY 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget.

FISCAL IMPACT: Up to $476,300 in expenditures per participation year for the salary, benefits, overtime, vehicle and equipment expenses for each police officer assigned to the PACT Team. This MOU includes funding for the City of Blythe to add a second officer to PACT.

BACKGROUND: The implementation of AB 109, The Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011, resulted in specified convicted felons and parolees, who were previously monitored by State Parole, to be supervised by the Riverside County Probation Department ("Probation").

On August 30, 2011, Community Corrections Partnership Executive Committee (CCPEC) of Riverside County voted unanimously on the need for a county-wide law enforcement component to this supervision. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Riverside County District Attorney's Office, Riverside County Probation Department and eleven municipal law enforcement agencies in Riverside County have built the infrastructure for this critical enforcement component. The Post-Release Accountability and Compliance Team (PACT) is a county-wide, multi-jurisdictional team comprised of members from each of these organizations.

Under the guidance of the Association of Riverside County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff (ARCCOPS), Riverside County formed three (3) separate "regional" teams to address the -99-
impacts of the "realignment" of the State's corrections system through a partnership with Probation. The regional teams are identified as West-PACT, Central-PACT and East-PACT.

Funding to reimburse the cost for participating agencies placing employees on a team comes from the CCPEC funds distributed by Probation.

The East-PACT team is comprised of the following agencies: Blythe PD, Cathedral City PD, Desert Hot Springs PD, Indio PD, Riverside County Sheriff's Dept, Riverside County District Attorney's Office, and Riverside County Probation.

The PACT has been very successful not only in the City of Blythe, but throughout the East- End of Riverside County. The East-PACT has conducted over 410 compliance searches and over 43 arrests in the City of Blythe over the last two years.

STAFF REPORT: The City currently has one Police Officer assigned to the East-PACT.

There is an opportunity to add an additional Officer to PACT. Expenses for this additional Officer would be reimbursable to the City up to $238,150 per year through June 30, 2028. This would bring total reimbursable expenses to the City from $238,150 to $476,300 per program year.

By assigning another full-time officer to the PACT team, Blythe will further benefit from PACT operations on at least a bi-monthly basis. The team also provides follow-up investigation support and assists in special details as needed. Supporting PACT is an essential part of the Blythe Police Department's coordinated and proactive approach to stopping violence in our community.

One additional police officer position will be added to the funded position listing in the FY 2024/25 budget. This additional position backfills the officer assigned to the PACT so there will be no impact on current police staffing levels or our service to the community.

Should funding for the PACT Officer cease, the employees would be removed from the PACT.

The extra position would be eliminated, hopefully through attrition.

Because the MOU authorizes reimbursement for equipment as needed for each PACT Officer, staff would like authorization to purchase up to two (2) Dodge Durango Pursuits and then seek reimbursement for the costs of such vehicles through the MOU. Staff recommends that the vehicle(s) be purchased from Elk Grove Auto located in Elk Grove, California, by leveraging the State of California's Contract #1-22-23-23E. Staff obtained quotes from Innovative Emergency Equipment and Signs Unlimited for costs associated with upfitting the vehicle(s).

Pursuant to Section 2.65.070 of the Blythe Municipal Code and Section 4, Subsection 4.2.4 of the City's Purchasing Policy, the City may make purchases by leveraging contracts competitively bid by another governmental agency so long as the purchases meet the requirements of the Blythe Municipal Code. The Finance Director has determined that the State's contract meets the requirements of the Blythe Municipal Code.

The MOU had an initial term of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, and is now in its second year, continuing through June 30, 2025. After June 30, 2025, the MOU provides for automatic annual renewals each fiscal year, with the final renewal period ending June 30, 2028. The City entered into an MOU for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, and is now being requested to enter into an MOU for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Therefore, staff recommends that the Council authorize the Interim City Manager to execute -100-
the MOU, and any future MOUs or amendments to the MOUs, for continued participation in the PACT through June 30, 2028, once reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. Staff is also recommending that the Council approve the issuance of purchase order(s) in an amount not to exceed $157,835.48 for the purchase of up two (2) 2025 Dodge Durango Pursuits, once the 2024-2025 MOU for PACT is fully executed and vehicle purchase approved by PACT and approve an additional Police Officer position in the funded position listing in the FY 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget. If approved, the additional position will be memorialized in the revised Schedule of Positions proposed as part of the Central Garage Staffing staff report.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

1.0 BACKGROUND
The Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011 (Realignment) implementation resulted in specified convicted felons and parolees who were previously monitored by State Parole to be supervised by the Riverside County Probation Department (hereinafter Probation).

The eleven (11) city police chiefs, the Riverside County Sheriff, the Riverside County District Attorney and Probation have built the infrastructure to support this type of critical enforcement. The Post-release Accountability and Compliance Team (hereinafter PACT) is a county-wide, multi-jurisdictional team composed of Probation, the Banning Police Department, Beaumont Police Department, Blythe Police Department, Cathedral City Police Department, Corona Police Department, Desert Hot Springs Police Department, Hemet Police Department, Indio Police Department, Menifee Police Department, Murrieta Police Department, Riverside Police Department, Riverside County District Attorney, and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department representing the seventeen Sheriff's contract cities within the County.

The primary mission of PACT is to work with Probation to focus on "high-risk" and "at-large" realignment offenders that pose the most risk to public safety. PACT is dedicated to:
• Identifying and investigating "non-compliant" realignment offenders, • Locating and apprehending "at-large" and "high-risk" realignment offenders, and • Performing probation compliance sweeps.

Through sustained, proactive and coordinated investigations, PACT will be able to share information, serve warrants, locate and apprehend violators, and reduce the number of realignment offenders who abscond. The support of the PACT allows Probation more time and resources to focus on case management, addressing treatment needs, and ensuring compliance with Court-ordered conditions.

Exhibit D
Frequently Asked Questions

1. Year End:
a. What is a year-end estimate claim and what needs to be included? i. A year-end estimate claim allows Probation to encumber funds for payment from the current fiscal year into the beginning of the next to cover expenditures incurred during the month of June and have a record that the final submittal is pending.
ii. If funds are not encumbered to cover final year-end claims and a claim is submitted, the reimbursement may be charged against the PACT agency's allocation for the next fiscal year.
ili. To submit a year-end estimate claim form:

1. Use the Invoice Template (Exhibit B) provided,

2. In the location on the form for listing the month/year of the claim, please mark as the June Estimate,

3. Based on remaining annual funds and use of funds to date generate estimated expenditures for the month of June.

4. Attach any advance approvals for services/supply/equipment purchases, and

5. Submit estimate to Probation no later than June 20 of each year. b. What if the claim for actual year-end expenditures is not submitted before the County's year-end submission deadline?
i. If the claim for actual year-end expenditures is not received by the deadline, Probation will process payment to the PACT agency using the estimate provided.
ii. When the claim is received (after the deadline), if expenditures exceed the estimate, Probation will process payment for the difference and the difference will be paid from any rollover funds. If the expenditures are less than the estimate, the PACT agency is required to refund the overpayment back to Probation.
c. What documentation is needed to include major purchases in the year-end estimate?
Page | 27
-128-

THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE, ON BEHALF OF ITS

PROBATION DEPARTMENT, AND

POST-RELEASE ACCOUNTABILITY AND COMPLIANCE TEAM

FOR PUBLIC SAFETY REALIGNMENT

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
i. To include year-end expenditures that will not complete processing in the current fiscal year, the submitting PACT agency needs to provide proof of intent to purchase the major item, such as vehicles.
ii. Proof of intent to purchase can be represented by approval documents from a City Council, an approved purchase order, an approved requisition, or a copy of the documents used by the City to encumber funds in their own fiscal year budget allowing Probation sufficient documentation to encumber funds to reimburse the submitting PACT agency. d. What if the estimate is overstated?
i. If any unused funds are remaining after the final year-end reimbursement claim is submitted (prior to year-end deadline), the funds will be released for use within Realignment.

2. Staff Substitution for Another PACT Agency
a. What is the process to submit claims when substituting PACT staff by another police department due to staff shortages?
i. The Police Department providing the staff substitution must bill the PACT Agency suffering the staff shortage.
ii. The PACT Agency suffering the staff shortage will then submit their monthly claim to Probation. The claim should include back-up documentation reflecting invoices and payment to the substituting Police Department for staff services rendered. Any back-up documentation provided by the substituting Police Department (such as timesheets) should be included in the monthly claim.
ili. PACT Agencies cannot bill against another PACT Agency's allocation.

3. Mileage Claims
a. What documentation is required to submit for mileage claims? i. A mileage log reflecting record of what miles are used for PACT specific duties is sufficient back-up for a mileage claim.
b. What if a vehicle is 100% PACT?
i. Fuel reimbursement statements reflecting the vehicle's mileage use over the course of the fiscal year is sufficient back-up for mileage reimbursement.

4. Staff Time
a. Can vacation, sick, and compensation time earned be paid? i. Yes, vacation, sick, and compensation time earned while performing PACT duties can be paid.
ii. Detailed tracking of when the time is earned and when it is paid will need to be provided as back-up to the claim. The tracking is necessary to ensure no duplication of payment is requested (i.e. reimbursement for compensation time on one pay period and on the next pay period requesting reimbursement for time-off using those same backed compensation time hours). A tracking sheet can be provided upon request. iii. PACT Agencies that allow their officers to 'sell back' their compensation time at the end of the year can claim those hours as part of their reimbursement. Detailed tracking reflecting that the compensation time is earned while performing PACT duties must be submitted as back-up. b. Our police department uses electronic timesheets. Is a report from the timesheet system acceptable back-up?
i. Yes, a report from the timesheet system is acceptable as long as it reflects when the employee approved their timesheet and when the supervisors counter-approved their timesheets.

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Central Garage Staffing
PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended Council reallocate the funding adopted in the FY 2024/25 Budget for the position of Purchasing Warehouseman/Safety Officer to the position of Equipment Mechanic. It is further recommended Council add the position of Equipment Mechanic to the list of funded positions for FY 2024/25 by adopting the following resolution:

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-038 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BLYTHE,

CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE REVISED SCHEDULE OF AUTHORIZED POSITIONS FISCAL IMPACT: This action is budget neutral.

BACKGROUND: In December 2023, the City's Equipment Shop Manager retired. Over the last few years, the City has sent more and more vehicles out for repair vs. repairing in house.

Management has discussed restructuring the Central Garage to include outsourcing vehicle and equipment repair. The retirement of the Equipment Shop Manager provided the City with an opportunity to do just that.

In February 2024, Council approved funding for a limited term employee to work in Central Garage as a Purchasing Warehouseman/Safety Officer. The main goal in doing so was to provide staffing to assist the Public Works operation with inventory, purchasing, parts running and vehicle maintenance scheduling. With the adoption of the 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget, funding was approved for a full-time Purchasing Warehouseman/Safety Officer position at Public Works in Central Garage. The limited term employee has continued in the role of Warehouseman while Management worked through the logistics of a long term appointment to the Warehouseman position, which included a meet and confer with the Laborers' Union.

STAFF REPORT: Through this limited-term assignment, staff has determined that the Equipment Mechanic position would be better suited for operations at Public Works. As the Warehouseman, the limited term employee has spent his time on minor vehicle repair and maintenance such as oil and air filter changes, battery replacement, vehicle maintenance scheduling and parts and vehicle running. Doing minor repairs in-house and farming out the lager repairs will save the City money. The limited term employee also conducted an inventory review, organized and cleaned the shop and with the help of other Public Works staff members has made a dent in the cleanup of the Public Works Yard.

Staff believes the Equipment Mechanic would be a more well-rounded position for Central Garage, as the employee hired would be able to assist with vehicle maintenance and repair -138-
where and when it made sense, while staying on top of inventory and housing keeping in the shop. As such, staff would like to fund the Equipment Mechanic position instead of the Warehouseman position that was allocated in the FY 2024/25 budget. There will be no additional cost to the City in doing so, as the Warehouseman position is on the Range 40 pay scale of the Mid-Management's Memorandum of Understanding and the Mechanic position is on the Range 39 pay scale of the Laborers' Union's Memorandum of Understanding. The Warehouseman position will be unfunded, and only one employee will be hired, as originally planned
Therefore, staff recommends that the Council reallocate the funding adopted in the FY 2024/25 Budget for the position of Purchasing Warehouseman/Safety Officer to the position of Equipment Mechanic and add the position of Equipment Mechanic to the list of funded positions for FY 2024/25 by adopting Resolution No. 2024-038. The revised Schedule of Authorized Positions, included as Exhibit "A" to the resolution, also reflects the addition of a Police Officer position as requested in the PACT staff report. The resolution also includes language authorizing the Interim City Manager to transfer positions within existing funded classifications and reorganize departments under the Interim City Manager's authority, if the Interim City Manager determines such actions will result in a higher degree of efficiency of overall City operations.

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Pumping Station #5 Renovation Project-Change Order No. 1 PRESENTED BY: Mirasol Elegores, Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Interim City Manager to approve Change Order No. 1 submitted by Cholla Construction in an amount not to exceed $65,920.00, increasing the established project budget for the Pumping Station No. 5 Renovation Project from $218,936 to $284,856, which includes $20,000 for contingencies and $5,000 for plan review and inspection services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A $65,920 increase to the cost of the project, which will come from contingency in the Sewer Enterprise Fund.

BACKGROUND: The City's Sewer Utility operates a network of nineteen sewer lift stations throughout the sewer system designed to pump sewer flows to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Every year, the budget contemplates funding for the renovation or rehabilitation of identified sewer lift stations. In the current fiscal year, Sewer Pump #5, located in the Public Works Yard was identified for rehabilitation. Two pumps and a new control panel were purchased by the City to be installed by a contractor. The City engaged The Holt Group to prepare the engineering design and bid documents to release a Notice Inviting Bids for the rehabilitation of Pump Station #5. On June 11, 2024, the City Council awarded the project to Cholla Construction as the lowest responsible bidder.

Pump Station No. 5 is a critical piece of the sewer lift station network as the flows from all other sewer lifts are directed to Pump Station #5. From there, Pump Station #5 makes the final push of the sewer flow to the Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment.

STAFF REPORT: When the project was originally designed, staff anticipated performing the necessary bypass of the sewer lift station while the contractor installed the new pumps and control panel. Staff estimated the bypass would not last more than a day, while the current system was offline, and the new system hooked in place.

After a pre-construction meeting with the contractor, it was determined a bypass was needed for much longer than anticipated. The contractor would need a week to install the new electrical components and a week to plumb in the new piping. As staff anticipated a short-term bypass, the City does not have the manpower or equipment to run a bypass for that amount of time.

As having the contractor install the bypass was not part of the original scope of work for this project, Cholla Construction was asked to provide a proposed change order to address the bypass needed to complete this project. The change order increases Cholla Construction's total -145-
compensation to $259,856. It should be noted that the bypass is critical, as a failure of this sewer lift station could result in sewer spillage. If that were to occur, it would be a health and safety issue, and the City would be required to report it to the State.

Therefore, staff recommends Council authorize the Interim City Manager to approve Change Order No. I submitted by Cholla Construction in an amount not to exceed $65,920.00, increasing the established project budget from $218,936 to $284,856.

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE ORDER WORK

CITY OF BLYTHE
Blythe CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Closure of City Hall and Public Works on December 23, 2024 PRESENTED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Mallory Crecelius, Interim City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended Council authorize the closure of City Hall and Public Works on December 23, 2024, with normal operations resuming December 26, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.

BACKGROUND: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are City observed holidays. This year the holiday falls on Tuesday and Wednesday. In years past, when holidays fall mid-week, staff has made a request to Council to close one extra day. When approved, staff is required to use their personal time for that day. Before the item is brought to Council, staff is polled, and the items brought forward only if there was a majority of staff in favor of closing and using personal time for that day.

STAFF REPORT: As the Christmas holiday falls on Tuesday and Wednesday, there is a request from staff to close Monday, December 23, 2024. This will allow staff to have an extended holiday to spend with family. The weeks of Christmas and New Years are typically slow, with minimal foot traffic in City Hall. We typically have minimal staffing those weeks due to a number of time of requests being received, with families traveling and children out of school for Winter break
Management does not believe closing on December 23, 2024, would impact the community.

Advance notice would be provided and arrangements made for anyone with needs from the City that day. The City's 24/7 operations, the Police Department, Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant would remain open. On-call personnel would be available to address water/sewer and street maintenance issues afterhours and one the days the City is closed.

The Recreation Center would also remain open on December 23"d to serve youth out of school for Winter Break.

When staff was polled, all but two employees of roughly 30 polled voted in favor of closing on December 23rd.

A number of city governments are closed between Christmas and New Years. That is not something City staff or management has ever proposed, but the additional day would a long way with staff and employee morale.

Therefore, It is recommended Council authorize the closure of City Hall and Public Works on -149-
